Lullaby

 

Bapa’s Lullaby

 

Rest little baby! No reason for worry ’ave ever ye got

Celestial angels gathered ’round tend to thee, fear not

 

I love child innocent, adore person young, seven, all treasured

Your smile sings sweet sonnet to Bapa’s big heart pleasured

 

Surreal alabaster full moon orb resonates gentle-echo yonder

Peaceful rest on soft bed in night’s awesome slumber-wonder

 

Sail billowed-white canvas ’ore bountiful turquoise-crested sea

Quell squall tempest, calm frothy-waves to surely safe keep thee

 

Sleep precious darlin’, dream fantasy sweet

Soar unicorn high over golden field wheat

 

What ’ere desire pure innocent heart might imagine

I’ll help embellish dream ’til heaven-sent fathom

 

Sometime, think shared adventures through your busy day

Sky-high castle buildin’, wind-horse ridin’, innocent play

 

Creek water flying, plant a garden, feed the sheep, fishin’s what we did

Snow fight in the house, chance hole in a door, who is the biggest kid?

 

Catey-girl, what can’t you do? The best ever lawyer-mother

Caught all the bluegill; I had no chance! Again! Oh! Brother!

 

Rachel-sunshine of Sunnybrook, another daddy’s girl and how we did play!

A  Mustang convertible red for Nanny; to Becky, she promptly gave it away!

 

Z. Tyler, my twin, ever-present little shadow buddy-boy

Days filled with love, adventure-games and trips, all joy!

 

Lauren-girl, my “Luv-y” doll with a practiced cough quite bad

A beauty, smart, equestrian, piano, unlimited talent not a fad

 

Lexi-sweetness loving-way, intelligence, sports and curly-locks

Plays chess and practices telling time on Bapa’s antique-face clocks

 

Anna Marie, our beauty, sports a fantasy pure-imagination wild

So like her mommy and Nanny, another special, loving flower-child

 

Why? For thee, Child? In life, do all I possibly can?
