A mother telling her baby a story-

Is such an enlightening heartwarming thing to see.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 646 (Rocking That Baby)

The baby was rocked for a while-

In much grand style.

.

At first he looked asleep-

Without one single peep.

.

And, then suddenly he was awake-

It was not that he tried to fake.

.

But, he enjoyed the rocking so much-

It was fun and had that special touch.

.

And, he did not want it to stop-

So that is why he suddenly opened

his eyes, over the top.

.

The baby was rocked for a while-

In grand style.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 636

The baby finally slept all night-

Everything in the house, felt so right.

.

At first, iit was not that way-

The feedings went on all night and day.

.

And, then suddenly, the feedings began

to stretch, hour by hour-

That extra sleep, began to flower.

.

It was meant to be that way unitl

a pattern was set-

Yes, very tired, parents do get.

.

But, to make it through, they always do-

When nightime patterns finally acrue.

.

The baby finally slept all night-

Everything in the house, felt so right.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 989 (Sleep Will Come Later)

We were worn-

After the baby was born.

.

And, the leisure sleep went away-

For the baby awoke, both night and day.

.

To be fed, to be changed, and to be rocked-

Had we known, our past sleep time, we might have stocked.

.

But, through it all we figured it was best-

Later, in life, there will be plenty, of time, to rest.

.

We were worn-

After the baby was born

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 924 (Grandma’s Favorite Spot)

I found the grandson, in my favorite spot-

He knows it’s where I like to relax a lot.

.

At 18 months, he learned it well-

So he figured out that he’d try it out,

by himself, for a spell.

.

He was sitting in my favorite chair-

Looking so grand, acting so fair.

.

With clicker in hand, and a snack too-

He was acting like Grandma, through and through.

.

We’ve spent many hours together, in that chair-

Watching tv, playing hand games, and checking out our hair.

.

I hope the grandson doesn’t get too comfortable, for as he

continues to grow-

That is Grandma’s spot, that he will have to learn and know.

.

I found the grandson, in my favorite spot-

He knows it’s where I like to relax a lot.

Hard to stop-

When for the wee one, you go out to Christmas shop.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 434 (Family Treasures)

The family gathered around-
And much singing was found.
.
.
Mama played the piano-
All the Christmas songs, in
the room, had a Heavenly
flow.
.
.
Father had cut down the tree,
earlier in the day-
And, we decorated it in our
usual way.
.
.
Filled with candles, and of course,
the candy cane-
Not to take a bite, for the children,
was quite a pain.
.
.
There wasn’t anything, yet, under
the tree-
For in the morning, is when that
would all be.
.
.
Mama read The Night Before Christmas,
to one and all-
And, fast asleep, we did all fall.
.
.
To dream of the one who would come
to our house, in the night-
All was well, all felt so right.
.
.
And, in the morning when we were
awake-
Many sacks, for all the children, were
under the tree, for goodness sake.
.
.
Santa had brought us all apples, oranges,
and a bit of candy-
This Chirstmas morning, turned out to be
so dandy.
.
.
As an added surprise-
Mama had made some cranberry pies.
.
.
For us to eat after our Christmas church
service-
The Baby Jesus in His cradle, in the manger,
we would not miss.
.
.
As we later sat and ate some ham and turkey,
and of course, cranberry pie-
We knew we were lucky, for we had
managed the whole year, to get by.
.
.
We always had something to eat, and
we had our health-
We lived the good life, despite any
wealth.
.
.
For we had each other, to love and to
count on-
We knew this fact, whether it be sunset,
or dawn.
.
.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
is what we had-
To venture into the New Year, we were so
glad.
.
.
The family gathered around-
And much singing was found.
