Sleep baby sleep
hush, don't you weep
close your eyes in gentle slumber
sleep baby sleep

A tiny little one
to gently rock to sleep
prescious kisses on his forehead
his dreams to sweetly keep

Sometimes when I'm troubled
I sing the quiet song
and then the many hassles
drag on not so long

Though in truth I'd like a giant
to rock me in her arms
sweetly sealing up my good dreams
with her gentle smooching charms

Sleep baby sleep
hush, don't you weep
close your eyes in gentle slumber
sleep baby sleep

I think you touched a wish I didn't know I had.     My version is to threaten to huddle under my desk is a fetal position. Yours is much better!

do I detect a hint of regression here?  ..nice read, Sol..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Sol....

I think everyone deep down would love to regress back to a time when they could be  rocked that way once again.....you expressed this so well.

Hi SS, I hope you are feeling better  

This poem is so sweet, and yes to only be held like we once were, especailly when we aren't well or feeling down.

I need a lullaby
a kiss goodnight
Angel sweet love of my life
Oh, I need this

SOL..i hope youre feeling better sooner than later    

yes..i've had this same wish..wrote a poem about it too (maybe i can find it..)    i think at some time or another..we all wish for the security that a mother rocking her babe offers...  it would be nice..wouldnt it.. *sigh*..  alas..we are grown ups..and may not be cradled again as such, until we die......then the big man will rock us all the way home  

oops..sorry..i got a little carried away..!  anyway..this is a really nice poem youve got here..    

hugs, g

Great poem as usual. I loved it. Hope to read much more.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
