A Newborn's Lullaby

"Welcome to our little, blue Ark",
each Animal did say.
We'll dance and sing, we'll purr and bark
to celebrate this day!

We'll keep you warm and safe and snug.
We'll each one bring a toy,
like daisy blooms, a lady bug,
a song all filled with joy.

And as you grow we'll teach you things
that every child should know.
Like words to songs a wee bird sings,
the dance of falling snow,

why little brooks all laugh with glee,
and why the bees all hum.
With each new day we'll help you see
just what makes life such fun!

But, now's the time for a lullaby
from Robin, Wren, and Lark.
Sleep well! Sweet Dreams!
No need to cry.
You're safe on Earth's blue Ark.
