Mother's Lullabye

sleep my baby sleep
mommy's here for you to keep
together we shall be counting sheep
hush my baby hush
can you hear the mocking thrush
singing like a nightingale at first blush
rest my baby rest
i shall hold you close to my chest
on my shoulder your head may crest

That's delightful! I love the counting sheep bit, we all know the phrase yet it works so well here.

oh... It's a beautiful poem.
Mom's are so important for kids and I truly respect the way my mom has nurtured me.
Keep Writing. I love the way you express the real meanings of heartfelt emotions.
Sweet, tender and so moving, Bing...
I can almost hear my mom sing it to me... Really beautiful and caressing, my dear..

I love your sweet lullaby, Bing. Reminds me of those long ago days with my two babies.
And then as I'm getting ready to add my comment, I saw your tag--"don't mess with my kids"! It gave me a giggle...
P.S. Every time I see your quote by Swami Vivekananda, I remember how many times I clung to it for support and hope. It's one of my favorites.
