This poem was written at the time my first child was born. I put it to a simple melody and sang it every night to each of my children. Hopefully, they will one day sing it to their children as well.

Nathan's Lullaby


Go to sleep my baby
Go to sleep, don't cry
Go to sleep my baby
It's time to close your eyes


Go to sleep my baby
Rest your weary head
Daddy's here to lay you down
Softly in your bed


Go to sleep my baby
The day is nearly through
Go to sleep my baby
Knowing I love you


Go to sleep my baby
The stars are shining bright
And should you wake up in the night
Daddy's here to hold you tight


So go to sleep my baby
Go to sleep to night
