Beautiful Words

Share your favorite words and explain them please! It can be a song, a poem, a verse, or something you wrote.

I'm sitting here listening to an album of songs I used to sing to my babies constantly...started when they were newborn, and they still remember them. They each had a special song and as I was just listening to Anna's, the lyrics struck me as absolutely beautiful. (they all are, but this was really exceptionally done imo!) I picked this one for her because it just FIT. Because of her race, I was amazed by the blond streaks of hair. Because of her health, I constantly prayed she would get comfort from our Father and that she would be safe from pain.

My favorite phrase in this is "kissed by the golden stars and moon." I totally love that sentence! It makes for a very pretty word picture.

Here's the whole song:

Well I love my baby
sweet and fair
you've got the sky in your eye
the sun in your hair
I rock you to sleep most every night
and sing you this song
while i hold you tight

Sleep my baby
the angels keep you from harm
and your Father above
cradles you in his love
safe and warm
sleep my baby
the angels keep you from harm

My baby
you'll be sleepin' soon
kissed by the golden stars and moon
I have just one wish for you
may your every dream come true
