Redwood Lullaby for Sunday Scribblings


Oak tree and redwood tree,
Madrona and pine
Sing,"Close your eyes and sleep
Baby of mine."

Mother bird on her nest,
Beasts of the wild
Sing, "Close you eyes and rest,
Sleep, little child."

Someday my child will go
Far from the trees
No longer hear the low
Whispering breeze.

But while you choose to stay
The forest's strong arm,
Will guard you night and day
keep you from harm.

Oak tree and redwood tree,
Madrona and pine
Sing, "Linger close to me
Baby of mine!"
