Lullabye

Little babies like to sleep and Luke is certainly no exception. But while Ava was a "You Are My Sunshine" kind of girl, Luke prefers this one. My babies like to be sung to but it's interesting that even at such a young age, they have a preference as to which one.


Hush my Dear One,
sleep serenely,


Close your eyes now,
go to sleep.



Mother rocks you,
humming lowly.



Close your eyes now,
Go to sleep.


Angels hover,
ever nearer,



looking on your smiling face.
I will hold you,



close enfold you.
Close your eyes now,



Go to sleep.



Empire of the Sun, welsh lullabye: Suo Gan

Oh, Elise! Beautiful pictures (beautiful baby) and beautiful lullaby. Sigh. I loved rocking and singing to my boys.

I love this post!
