When I rock my precious granddaughter to sleep, I sing quietly to her- some favorite tunes, or Armenian lullabies. But the first song I sing that calms her is something I make up, the words change often but it’s mostly along these lines. And she sings back to me…Aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa. My precious angel, my Brookie.
You and I
We’ll plant flowers together
We’ll pick apples together
We’ll chase butterflies together
We’ll watch fireflies together
You and I
You and I
We’ll laugh at squirrels together
We’ll pet puppies together
We’ll hug elephants together
We’ll ride dragons together
You and I
Brookie and I
You and I
We’ll bake cookies together
We’ll smile at strangers together
We’ll make new friends together
We’ll spread kindness together
You and I
You and I
We’ll have adventures together
We’ll climb mountains together
We’ll cross bridges together
We’ll swim rivers together
You and I
Brookie and I
You and I
We’ll count the stars together
We’ll find shapes in clouds together
We’ll fly to the moon together
We’ll play among the planets together
You and I
You and I
We’ll love everyone together
We’ll love each other forever
You and I
Brookie and I
Brookie and Nena
Together
