Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee...

Since we cannot be there, exactly in person, I am sending my favorite lullaby to a Utah hospital that is celebrating a new 9 1/2 pound little boy with a head of red hair. 

"Sleep my child and peace attend thee
(click above blue for accompaniment)

All through the night

Guardian angels God will send thee,

All through the night

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping

Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,

I my loving vigil keeping

All through the night.

(Just had to review some of the photos from my files of another mother, 

feeling a little sluggish after a long day!)

 While the moon her watch is keeping

All through the night

While the weary world is sleeping

All through the night

O'er they spirit gently stealing

Visions of delight revealing

Breathes a pure and holy feeling

All through the night.

You deserve a long rest dear daughter.  Enjoy tonight.  We love you!
