I have written a lullaby for each of my three grandchildren. Here is the lullaby I wrote for my very first grandchild, our grandson, Owen.
Little Baby Wonderful

Little baby Wonderful,
Little baby mine;
The sky is full of stars tonight,
The breeze is apple wine.
Shall I rock you on the sea
Where fishes swim and leap?
The waves will sing you lullabies
Until you fall asleep.
Little baby Wonderful,
Little baby mine;
The sky is full of stars tonight,
The breeze is apple wine.
Shall I rock you in the woods,
Where forest creatures creep?
The owls will whisper fairy tales
Until you fall asleep.
Little baby Wonderful,
Little baby mine;
Your eyes are full of stars tonight,
Your breath is apple wine.
I will rock you in my arms
Where you are safe and warm,
And I will sing you lullabies
