I have a few songs that make me think of my children. For my older son though, the song Godspeed (Sweet Dreams) by The Dixie Chicks is #1. The bolded line is what did it for me. Since JP lives 1000 miles away, that line seems so very appropriate.
"Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)"
Dragon tales and the "water is wide"
Pirate's sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, will find the mouse
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
God bless Mommy and Matchbox cars
God bless Dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen," wherever we are
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
When Devin was an infant, DH started singing to him, just nonsense words at first, but they eventually took shape into Devin's very own lullaby. It doesn't have a name, the melody and lyrics are very simple, but D loves it.
Hush now, hush now
Little child of mine
Hush now, hush now
Everything is fine
You are so amazing
The perfect little baby
Hush now, hush now
Little child of mine
Sleep now, sleep now
Little child of ours
Sleep now, sleep now
Sleep among the stars
Know that we do love you
In everything that you do
Sleep now, sleep now
Little child of ours
Dream now, dream now
Little child of mine
Dream now, dream now
Dream of things divine
We are right beside you
To love you and to guide you
Dream now, dream now
Little child of mine
