Soft sobs gently cease as
I sing "Brahms'
Lullaby," at the
End of the day. while
Night descends and changes from restlessness to
Calmness, the soothing song
Enables sleep.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Lovely & soothing… I used to croon Brahms Lullaby to my babies… largely in desperation!
A lucky baby to be so soothed 😁
Even reading this in italics made me feel comforted, and I can imagine that change from "restlessness to calmness" is so rewarding:)
Such precious moments that end all too quickly. A beautiful focus for the challenge Babs! 💟
Very sweet and wonderfully said
The sweetest kind of silence. Loved it
This is beautiful🥰
I agree with Andrea LOVELY poem
Lovely Babs!
Such a comfort inducing piece! Well done, Babs!
Aww, I could feel the calm descending as I read. Lovely piece, Babs!!
Beautiful respite at work.
That is beautiful, and so soothing. Well done.
Very nice Babs!! 😊💕💖
So sweet and musical 🎶🍼
Oh baby nicely done, Babs 😊👍🏽
This is delightful Babs. Nicely done 💕❤️💕
Simply Beautiful Babs! I ❤️ it!
Oh Babs, I so love babies and know grandchildren aren't in the cars for me. Now I understand why old ladies like me stopped and cooed at my baby years ago. It's in us to want to see the newness, the innocence so fresh in a wee bundle. Lovely entry!
Kind of want to suck my thumb now.
This was such a soothing poem! Loved your Acrostic!
aww you can feel a soothing lullaby reading this
The way you describe the transition from restlessness to calmness through Brahms' Lullaby is lovely and captures the essence. Love this, Babs! 💌🥰
That was perfect, Babs. The right amount of everything to paint a calming picture of much-needed silent rest. 👏👏👏
This feels like a lullaby in a way. Nicely done, beautiful word. Great job as always, Babs!
