GRAHAM

The moon was in its last quarter phase the day you were born Time for action and transition according to the lore Your mommy or daddy reads the pages of your sleepy-time book In the baby duck learns to swim across the little brook Your doggy, Appa, has long since laid down his head At the foot of your crib, dreaming about a duck in a brook The Sun is jealous as she relinquishes you to the moon For time with you is precious Sleep will come soon Outside your window your faithful companion, Spruce, waves Goodnight with pleasure to his diminutive treasure Big blue eyes in shades of the humble Bluebells and the strong Impact of the Larkspur Slowly close…it is still…nothing stirs Sleep as a baby lamby Sweet little Hammy
