Nursery Rhymes…
(Or Conversations with the Baby)

 

Nursery rhyme
Rock me...Mother
Rock me in time
for I have no other

until I love a brother


My father had gone on to war
and has been killed in action
He will come home anymore
He chose to do his patriotic chore

 

Nursery rhymes...nursery rhyme
Rock me…dear mother
Rock me in time
Love me as no other


Rock me and groom me

and keep me close in your sight
until into a man I am grown
and I too...must leave to fight
the seeds of hate that are sown


Little one...I will rock you in time...
keeping you close to this heart of mine
and pray for a world with fighting no more
and…never...never again…anyone lost to war

 

Nursery rhymes...nursery rhymes
I am the one for whom the bell chimes.
