December Lullaby
23. December Lullaby
Whilst I walked down the street one cold night
What seemed like an age ago
I saw the snow fall down in the soft light
Of the old roadway lamps
With the noisy sound of screech owl’s fight
Of silliness and of fright
I wondered past with a laugh as I walked out of sight
Oh, may the warmth of a mother’s love
Keep you safe from any fear
May she bring you happiness and grace
Whenever she holds you near
And as I kept on with my head down
I whistled a familiar song
All the lights were bright in the town
Full of spirit and joy
But then the North wind howled like a hunting hound
And I just held my ground
I wrote you this little lullaby full of sights and sound
And may the blessing that I pray
Fill your heart with delight
May they bless you and your mother, dear
As you find your sleep tonight
