LOVE-A-BYE

A poem about and for children.

LOVE-A-BYE

Sweet little baby don't you cry

Mamma's gonna sing you a love-a-bye

When you dream into the night

Angel wings will hold you tight

When you wake to greet the sun

We will play and have some fun

You are all the world to me

That's quite clear for all to see

Rocking in our rocking chair

Kiss your face and golden hair

You were sent from God above

Just for Dad and me to love

Sweet little baby don't you cry

Mamma's gonna sing you a love-a-bye

When your days turn into night

Angel wings will hold you tight

So sweet! Children are not only a treasure, they are the future. Our grandchildren too. I now find myself playing games with my grandchildren that I used to play with my own sons when they were little. Treasured memories - hopefully for the children and grandchildren too!

Thanks so much Robert for your nice review! You are appreciated. ~Sharon

dearest Sharon… I ❤️ love your Lullaby… reminds me of the song 🎶 Summertime.. “your Daddy’s rich and your Momma’s good lookin… Hush little Baby, don’t you Cry”. Your Poetry is very soothing Miss Sharon. gently, Pat

Terrific play on words with love a bye. Formal rhyming poems are hard to accomplish with unforced sounding syntax but you do it seemingly effortlessly.

Awwwww! Thanks so much my friend. ~Sharon

[Gee]

I read the last verse as a double meaning, this being about your son, probably incorrectly.
A well rhymed fluent piece that trips off the tongue.
Hope you are well Sharon

[Miss Sharon]

Thanks so much my sweetie for your lovely review! ~Sharon

This is so sweet! It reminds the child how much they mean to their mom and dad. This poem fits nicely to the rhythm and tempo of "Hush little baby"

Delightful stanzas dear Sharon. It's quite a while since I rocked my own baby, but I have had plenty of practice since with grandchildren. Your lines bring back some lovely memories. Hope you are well and happy.

Sings quite nicely to "Hush Little Baby". Wonderfully paced and rhymed. ~Jim

Thanks Jim. I actually had that song in mind when I wrote this. ~Sharon

A sweet ode to children, and much they re loved by us; We protect them from harm, and delight in play with them. We kiss them goodnight and hope they have sweet dreams.
Lovely.
Best, B
