One night after Emyri was born, I was up late rocking her to sleep and as I rocked her I made up a little lullabye for her. It's one we began to sing to her almost every night and now one she sings with us before she falls alseep. After writing her lullaybe, I decided that I would write each of my children their own lullabye. After Brinley was born I kept trying to come up with her lullabye, but I was having a hard time with it. Until one day this summer while driving home from Bear Lake with both girls asleep in the backseat it just quite easily came to me. Long peaceful drives have always had that "help me figure out things" effect.

So I just wanted to share them with you, and mostly write them down so I would always remember them. If I can talk her into it, maybe I'll record Emyri singing them and post them later, but as for now here are the lyrics. So here they are...the Girls' lullabyes.

Emryi's Lullabye


Be still my baby, be still my baby,
The stars have come to play.
Be still my baby, be still my baby,
The moon will light your face.
So close your eyes And fall asleep.
And I'll hold you close,
And I'll hold you tight,
So be still my baby tonight.




Brinley's Lullabye


Close your eyes, close your eyes,
Rest you're little hand in mine.
May your dreams be full of love.
So close your eyes my little one.
Close your eyes, close your eyes,
Rest in peaceful sleep tonight
My baby, you, I'll always love.
So close your eyes my little one.
