DADDY'S LULLABY

Close your eyes my pet, I will sing for you, 

it's a lullaby I never knew, 

in this world you know, some things must come and go, 

but my world is all in loving you.


It's a simple song, and it's words are true, 

and I'll do the best that I can do, 

as I write this song, how can the words be wrong, 

when they're all about my loving you?


You've got Mommy's eyes, and now I realize

God has blessed my world with loving you, 

you've got Daddy's nose, a joke I suppose, 

but it's still, what makes up you.


As you close your eyes, here's a prayer or two, 

While you sleep I will be here for you. 

Things might come and go, but this you'll always know, 

Daddy's lullaby is just for you.

Baby's Choice

Did you ever think, dear Mother,

As the seeds of me you sowed,

As you breathed new life inside of me

And slowly watched me grow,

In all your dreams about me

When you planned me out so well,

When you couldn't wait to have me there

Inside your heart to dwell,

Did you ever think that maybe,

I was planning for you, too,

And choosing for my very own

A mother just like you?

A mother who smelled sweet and who

had hands so creamy white,

A tender, loving creature

Who would soothe me in the night?

Did you ever think in all those days

While you were coming due,

That as you planned a life for me

I sought a life with you?

And now as I lay in your arms,

I wonder if you knew

While you were busy making me,

I was choosing you!
