Lullaby

Sleep, sleep my sweet baby.
Sway, sway, sway away from those tears of yesterday.
Let it fly with the night wind.
Far, far away to the dark north sky full of cold stars and a blue moon.
Close your eyes and listen to these old melodies.
Swing, swing little baby.
Let’s wear a beautiful dress tomorrow and go outside.
Eating strawberry ice cream and sweet apple candy.
Running in the field while the wind gently brushes your silky hair.
The bright azure sky and the golden daffodils.
Laugh your heart out.
Dancing and laughing until the sun sets.
And when you tired, let mommy hug you back to your bed.
Hush, hush mosquitos won’t bite you.
Sleep, sleep little darling.
Don’t worry, mom is here.
Let’s be together forever…

Oh, you’re laughing.
No, you should be sleeping, little baby.
Sleep, sleep so mommy won’t be worried.
Close your eyes, it’s time to sleep.
You will have a lot of time tomorrow to laugh again.
Good, little baby.
See you again tomorrow’s night.

I want to go to check my baby but I’m too afraid.
That familiar old song that used to be my favorite lullaby as a baby.
Sung by my late mother for her grandchild.
I guess the baby is sleeping now.
