Lullaby for my son
Smiles flit like tiny butterflies
Across my baby’s face.
Asleep yet awake!

Where do you go in your sleep, my little one?
Is it the toy shop?
Or is it for the candy floss?
Or is it to that deep dark forest
On the other side of the lake?

So often do I hear songs
That travel through these silent nights.
Melodies so clear yet so light.
I also see stars falling
They brighten up our horizon
With sparks splashing
Spreading awesome light everywhere.

I feel the magic of silvery wands and soothing fragrant breath.
Are there fairies there my dear?
Do they sing soft feathery lullabies,
And swing you in their arms so fair?
What do they whisper into your ears?
Gentle words of love and tender care?!

As you continue your travel through the dreamland
I cannot help, but wait to see you open your eyes
For it is you who makes life for me so beautiful.
and when you return back to me, sweet darling of mine
I hope your sleepy eyes
Are still filled with that magical moon's light.
