Justin's Lullaby

Justin's Lullaby

A Poem by Nancy Lee Shrader

 

Justin's Lullaby

In honor of my first grandchild Justin David

Now 19 years old

 

 

Hush baby Justin don’t you cry

Grandma’s gonna to sing you a lullaby

Sing you to sleep so you can dream away

Of toy balloons and a brand new day

 

 

You were sent from heaven above

Just for your grandma to love

The good Lord sent down a bundle of joy

To be his grandma’s baby boy

 

 

So hush baby Justin Grandma’s here

I’ll sing softly in your ear

Sing you a song so you won’t cry

And you’ll go to the land of lullaby

 

 

Lullaby land is a beautiful place

It’ll put smiles upon your face

Laughter rings on every shore

When you go through that magic door

 

 

The magic door will open wide

Toy balloons on every side

Rainbow lollipops you can eat

And tasty flowers a growin’ at your feet

 

 

Sailboats sailing on a lemonade lake

Sailing through the lemon drop gate

To strawberry harbor where you can dock

You’ll listen to the song from the teddy bear clock

 

 

Hot fudge waterfalls flowing down

In the distance there’s a gingerbread town

With gingerbread girls and gingerbread boys

A playroom filled with gingerbread toys

 


Chocolate chip mountains looming high

Marshmallow clouds cover the sky

A bubble gum sun and a gumdrop moon

You won’t stay long, you’ll wake too soon

 

But while you’re there you’ll run and play

Until you wake to a brand new day

Now sleep little Justin, I love you

Your mommy loves you and Grandpa too

 

Hush baby Justin Hush Hush
