I have done all these things with my grandsons, only not quite as poetically. I thoroughly enjoyed the poem.
Congratulations Jim! What a beautiful entry. Made me miss my babies (all grown now). Loved the last verse, my favorite, and I found myself singing along too....

Well done!

Loved it! Congratulations too! Too long coming...
Simply beautiful. Loved the phrase "nightlight gold." Congrats!
This one brought tears to my eyes....And I don't tear easily.
I love how you portray the intimacy of the relationship in that last verse.

Thanks for sharing it.

Absolutely wonderful! Congratulations on your First place and EC! Very deserving.
Dear Jim, Yes, a man wrote this! I think it makes it that much more powerful...Powerful yet so delicate...two souls bonding forever with these precious words. I pray one day I will be blessed with a grandchild to share this with. Thank you for this gift and Congratulations!

Outstanding...what a beautiful, lyrical, tender lullaby. What a wonderful word picture - I can picture a father in a rocking chair at the midnight hour in the golden light of a nightlight lulling his little one to sleep. A huge congratulations on your 1st place win and well deserved EC!
