Zachary's Song

A long time ago, when my kids were babies and I don't think Kaleb (my youngest), was even born yet, I was watching Oprah.  Yeah.  I used to watch Oprah.  I stopped in like 2006 though.  I think.  Any way, she had a guest on who wrote her kids their own song.  I thought that was amazing.  I wish I could do that.  Then I thought.  Well, I write poetry.  Why can't I just make up a little tune to sing them when they go to sleep? They aren't long.  They're very simple and very sweet.
Here's Zachary's.  He's 13 now and once in a great while, he still wants to hear it.

Zachary's Song

My little Zachary,

I often think of who you'll be.

You are so sweet,

And you are so kind.

So as you go to sleep tonight,

Remember I love you.

I always do.

You are my sweetheart.

You always will be.

So sleep and dream of happy things.

My special Zachary.
