A Swan Mother’s Lullaby

đŸŽ¶ Shhh shhhhh

There goes the swan

Gliding gracefully in her pond


Shhh shhhhh

Listen dear

Don’t miss the rustling

Of her wings

Cradling her babes


Shhh shhhhh

Hear hear dear

The cygnets chirping

Under their mother’s wing

Peeping peeping

Like you are my dear

Sleeping sleeping

In my arms my dear đŸŽ¶...

The Last Letter

On the edge of a quiet village stood a crooked little house with a rusted mailbox that hadn’t seen a letter in years. Inside lived old Mr. Ellery, who once wrote letters for everyone in town—love letters, farewell notes, apologies—each one sealed with his steady, graceful handwriting.


Now, with trembling hands and eyes dim with age, he wrote his final letter. It wasn’t for a client this time. It ...

Time To Sleep

Breathe in and out the day is done,

It may have been long but it’s you that has won.

Another day’s finished,

So clear your head for the next.

You’ve finished your dinner now it’s time to rest.


Lay your head on your pillow and live in the now,

I know your thoughts are racing but you can figure out how.

So ask your last question then close your eyes,

I’m sure your dreams will have you surprised....

Telephone Lullaby ïżŒ

There is a number I call every morning

It’s your voice that. , I am wanting to hear

But the number I call, never answers at all


All I get is a buzz, busy buzz, busy buzz in my ear!


I always get that buzzy buzz

When I telephone your house from mine?


Why do I get that busy buzz, huh?

Cause something is always on your mind!...

Monsters In The Night

Sleep my child now

You are safe and sound

The mist creeps ever near

But your mother will appear

To protect you from

The monster that will come

In the night so still

In the wind so chill

Till the sun arise

The monster then shall die

Burned by gleaming light

The end of all the blight...

My Little Baby

My little baby,

My sweet little baby,

Oh my how big you are.


My little baby,

My sweet little baby,

You are my shining star.


My little baby,

My sweet little baby,

It’s time that we go to bed.


My little baby,

My sweet little baby,

Lay down your beautiful head....

I Have Loved You

A thousand years

Time stands still

I will be brave

Nothing will be taken away


Every breath

Every hour

Every day

Has come to this


I have died everyday

Protecting you

I will do it for you

For ever till I die

I have loved you


All alone

I will find you

I have loved you

I will today

And so one


Nothing can be taken away

Stay by my side

Still it comes my way

I have loved you


(Based off of ‘a ...

~Without You~

Without you~

I’d be

Nothing


I’d be

No one


Not a thing at all


And I could be

Fearless

And nothing could stop me at all


Just a random lil song that I came up with 😊...

The Grass Is Red

The sky is blue

The grass is red

He didn’t tie his shoe

So he broke his head

He stained the grass

And alas

Now the grass is red


*it’s a rhyme rather than a lullaby, but close enough...

Lullaby

Hush now dear child,

Sleep tight,

Until the sun rises up

And bathes you

In the morning’s light.


When you wake,

The song of birds

Will follow the air

In a peaceful

Morning symphony.


So sleep tight,

Until the sun rises up

And bathes you

In the morning’s light....
