Zzzzzzz Poem by Loretta Shively

Lullaby, lullaby, little baby,
Wind rustles leaves on the willow tree.
Chase away thoughts of a scary bear,
Safe in my arms in the rocking chair.

Lullaby, lullaby, little baby,
Sleep to the sound of a bumblebee.
Close little eyes that would rather stare;
Safe in my arms in the rocking chair.

Lullaby, lullaby, little baby,
Wish on a fish in the deep blue sea.
Angels are watching you everywhere,
Safe in my arms in the rocking chair.

Lullaby, lullaby, little baby,
I hear the chirp of a chickadee.
Skip in the tracks of a snowshoe hare,
Safe in my arms in the rocking chair.

Lullaby, lullaby, little baby,
Drift in your dreams with a manatee.
Laugh in the land of the lilac air,
Safe in my arms in the rocking chair.

Lullaby, lullaby, little baby,
Fields full of clover and meadow tea.
Mind full of happy, without a care,
Safe in my arms in the rocking chair.

Lullaby, lullaby, little baby,
Precious and playful and loved by me.
Sweet in your sleep as I say a prayer;
Safe in my arms in the rocking chair.
