i held them all one by one
a gift of life in my arms
watching their eyes move
beneath fluttering lids
of what do they dream?
with their warm bodies
and sweet milky breath

“hush little baby don’t you
cry cause mama’s gonna sing
you a lullaby”…Shhhhhhhh
now don’t you cry, be safe
in my arms, just you and i

watch them inhale as
they quietly are dreaming
making soft baby noises of
what do they see?…bottles
of milk, my smiling face or
sunbeams that sunsets
will never let stray

“hush little baby don’t you
cry cause mama’s gonna sing
you a lullaby”…Shhhhhhhh
i shall tell of beauteous things
to soothe you when i sing
