Poems and songs for little ones

ROCK-A-BYE

Rock-bye darlings
on the hilltop,
a gentle breeze blows,
your cradles will rock,
the stars shine on darlings,
all through the night,
the moonbeams will keep
you snuggled up tight,
when the morning comes,
the sun will shine,
and the birds will sing
for darlings mine

HUSH

Hush my darlings, go to sleep
sweet and quiet, your dreams I’ll keep
Hush my darlings, no more tears
I will sing away your fears
Hush my darlings, no need to cry
you’re safe and loved within our lullaby

Little one, dream

Little one, close your eyes,
drift to sleep on sweet dreams,
rest easy little sweet one,
Stars twinkling in the sky
mean this day is done,
Morning comes sooner than it seems,
sing with me this lullaby,
Imagine chasing moonbeams,
dream of dancing in the sun,
little one close your eyes,
rest easy little one,
drift to sleep on sweet dreams

LITTLE BIRD

Little bird, little bird
take me with you
Little bird , little bird
in the sky so blue
Little bird, little bird
teach me to fly
Little bird, little bird
above the clouds so high
Little bird, little bird
where will we go
Little bird, little bird
any way the wind will blow

LITTLE LOVES

Little loves, go to sleep
tomorrow is on it’s way,
happy dreams are yours to keep
as memories you made today

little loves, drift away
to sleep with peaceful dreams
morning will bring a whole new day
much sooner than it seems

little loves of mine,
the stars that are above,
just for you they shine
to show you all my love

Sleep now little one

The night is dark and deep,
you are safe in your bed,
pillow soft beneath your head,
blanket warm cuddles you to sleep,

Today you did laugh and play,
and learned of many things,
tomorrow comes and the mornings brings,
a brand new wonderful day
