what’s your LULLABY?
“The lullaby is the spell whereby the mother attempts to transform herself back from an ogre to a saint.”
~James Fenton
Everybody has a favorite lullaby, don’t they? We can’t always remember the words or get all the way through without getting a little choked up, but something about lullabies just makes us feel safe & warm & loved. :mistletoe
And even though they aren’t on the actual pages of SECRETS, LIES & LULLABIES, you just know Jessica sang lullabies to little Baby Henry.
What do you think those lullabies might have been?
And more importantly…
What’s your LULLABY?
What’s your favorite lullaby? The one you sang to your children or remember your mother singing to you?
A couple of my all-time favorites…& ones I remember Madame Mommy Dearest singing to me…are “Mighty Like a Rose” & “All Through the Night.”
How about you?

My Mom sang country music to us. You have to realize that in Brooklyn NY country was not real popular.

LOL Hey, there are some country songs that would make good lullabies. I can’t think of any right this minute, but I know they’re out there. :wink

My mother always sang Danny Boy to all the us kids to get us to sleep and then when the grand babies came along she sang this song to them.
Of course when she passed away it was the last song we had played at her funeral.. It will always be a tradtion in our family, I hope. I know my oldest niece will be singing it to her babies one day..

Oh, I love “Danny Boy” – except that it makes me cry.
Also “Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra” – I sing that a lot.
