Goodnight

Goodnight
Originally uploaded by anniemcq

Last night, laying on JH's bed, talking about his day, when we looked out the window and caught this magnificent streak in the sky. By the time I grabbed my camera ("what are you waiting for, Mom?!"), a tiny jet had joined it in making a pretty show.

Lullabye

Goodnight, goodnight,
Sweet baby
The world has more for you
Than it seems
Goodnight, goodnight
Let the moonlight take the lid
Off your dreams
We took a small flight
in the middle of the night
From one tiny place
To another
And my parents they remain
At the shack with Lorraine
And my aunt and my grandpa
And brother

We walked past the tarmac
And boarded the craft
The rain had me chilled to the bones
Just the three of us
Took flight that night
Uncle Richard, me,
And James Earl Jones

And the pilot
He gave me a blanket
And the tall dark man
Sang to me in deep rich tones

Goodnight, goodnight
Sweet baby
The world has more for you
Than it seems
Goodnight, goodnight
Let the moonlight take the lid
Off your dreams
