Lullaby for Max

3/9/2019

I am posting this lullaby to honor Max, my grandson, on his 5th birthday. I wrote this song for him five years ago, soon after his birth. He is a bright light in my life. If only I lived closer!

Chorus:

                                                  Maze you in the moonlight
                                                  Wonder you with stars
                                                  Nighttime shadows melt away
                                                  come, journey in my arms

1

Desert’s bedtime creatures,
hawks, coyotes, owls,
bay a soothing melody
while out on moonlit prowls.

2

Leathered alligators
supple into dreams,
cuddle you to sleep neath
their sprawling dense of trees.

3.

Visitors leave zoo-beasts
quiet in the black.
Zebra, elephant and bear
hums make your cradle rock

4.

Chant with barnyard critters
moo-you-quack-coo strums.
Let these bright dreams lull you
now that day is done

5

Sail off on moonbeams
stretched across the sky.
Reach up to grab a comet,
hang on for the ride.

6

Listen, evening serenades
send my love songs cross the miles.
Moon dust, song-pals choir up,
so sleep my lovely child.
