Hushabye Mountain

My dad used to sing me to sleep with this song every night. I've always liked it. Now I sing it to my own daughter.

"A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain
Softly blows o'er lullaby bay.
It fills the sails of boats that are waiting
--Waiting to sail your worries away.

It isn't far to Hushabye Mountain
And your boat waits down by the key.
The winds of night so softly are sighing
--Soon they will fly your troubles to sea.

So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain.
Wave good-bye to cares of the day.

And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
Sail far away from lullaby bay."

Haiku

A couple of days ago someone wrote a haiku and dedicated it to me. It was so sweet and I didn't know how to respond, I was so touched. I know that the Lord was the one who had a hand in what I said to her before to impart wisdom about love and God's will, but the fact that she thanked me in it meant a lot to me anyway.
