Rock-a-Bye Baby

Rock-a-bye, baby

In my arms strong

When the wind blows

I’ll sing you a song

“When you would smile

I’ll play with you awhile

But when you cry

I’ll put you to dry

Baby is drowsing

No worries, no care

Your daddy is here

To pay all your fare

And now you will owe me

Until you’ll die"

And though baby sleeps

She hears his story

Baby looks up

With eyes wide and bright

He calls her child

But she’s filled with fright

She does not know

To trust or to fear

When her cradle
He rocks far and near

- Dedicated to all those little boys and girls who find that their home is not the haven that it ought to have been...
