Rock-a-bye Baby

I've been tossing around the idea of making an entire scrapbook of Nursery Rhyme inspired layouts. Here's one to start it off!  Though,I have to say, Rock-a-bye Baby is not one of my favorite nursery rhymes. Who lets a baby fall out of a treetop, for Pete's sake!  (Just kidding, I know that nursery rhymes were probably political commentary and that this song was most likely about overthrowing some British King.)  Anyway, I like the lyrics to this modified version of the song.

Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop

When the wind blows, the cradle will rock

When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall

And down will come baby, cradle and all

Baby is drowsing, cozy and fair

Mother sits near, in her rocking chair

Forward and back, the cradle she swings

And though baby sleeps, she hears what she sings

From the high rooftops, down to the sea

No one's as dear, as baby to me

Wee little fingers, eyes wide and bright

Now sound asleep, until morning light.

Here's my sweet grandbaby in "Rock-a-bye Baby".
