Writing Lullabies...until they said stop!

So one thing I did, so very long ago, was write lullabies for my two kids. I use to make them up every night, until they said, "mamma - stop singing." Ouch.

Here's Kammie's Lullaby


Kammie’s Lullaby


The day it is ending
The night it draws nigh
And my sweetheart I’ll sing you
Your own lullaby

The sun is a settin
The moon’s in the sky
And I always will love you
til the day that I die

The birds have stopped singin
They’ve all gone to bed
And it’s time that you laid down
Your own little head

So hush now sweet darlin
And Close them there eyes
And your dreams they’ll be comin
On angels sweet time

Helena's for my next post.

Children Say the Darndest Things

Now I know my daughter really does love her brother...in fact, they are quite close. But the other day she said something I just have to share.

While sitting with her before bed, we got to talking. There was some school issue where people weren't be nice - or something like that. So I said to her..."Honey, always remember, we should love our neighbors as our brothers."

She sat for a second then said:

"Well that will mean I won't love my neighbors much!".

Classic.
