A Mothers Lullaby

A lullaby to put children to sleep

Golden slumber kiss your eyes,
Smiles await you when you rise.
Sleep,
pretty baby,
Do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.

Care you know not,
Therefore sleep,
While I over watch you keep.
Sleep,
pretty darling,
Do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.

I confer with Muse 13 and such talent for this has such maturity as if written by a mother for her child. Beautifully done, keep em' coming

[Muse]

13?? My goodness girl, you write with plenty of talent and soul!

My mom used to sing to me at bedtime.

This poem is lovely.
It shows the love of a mother:
the caretaker, the bandager and the protector
that good moms must be.

I like it!

Cheers!

I don't mean this in a bad way, but I fell asleep afterwards. It's really comfoting and it helped me get to sleep. This is a brilliant poem.

you must have eaten quite a bit of honey before writing this ;) deliciously sweet.

A wonderful "lullaby," indeed.

Not to break the mood, but quite a contrast to my "Shaken Innocent."

This was a beautiful write of the love of mother and child!

This was so sweet, loved it, loved the flow, the rhyming, everything.
I may have to memorize this one, for my new grandbaby.
Awesome piece
