Roly Poly Lullabye
A poem for Benjamin's birthday
Go to sleep my brown-eyed boy
Lay your sleepy head upon my shoulder
You are my comical little elf
With a pure and gentle soul
Babbling bubbling roly-poly
With candid star-shine eyes
How I treasure these quiet moments
The smell of your baby powder skin
The sound of your sleepy little voice
Your chubby dimpled fingers patting my arm
Until I at last feel the increased weight
Of your weary dream-filled head
Asleep
Precious
Aww...so sweet!
