Hey, Lennon

Rocking my baby to sleep is always a time that lets me unwind, relax, lay my head down and think. Or, on nights like tonight, blog. Thinking and rocking led me to blogging... 

Lennon was crying and not wanting to drink a bottle, so I was day dreaming as I was rocking her to calm down. I was looking around her room at the wall paintings of Beatles lyrics and I thought of my Papa. I thought of all those times he would sit my on his lap and sing to me. Sure, my memories were kept alive by my family members telling me these stories but they are the fondest, and best memories of my childhood. It was comforting having those peaceful thoughts in my mind. I thought about the songs and what they meant to me, and then I began singing.

I was humming and signing Hey Jude; One of my favorites because of its meaningful lyrics. I can't imagine Lennon growing up with any hard times or troubles but if she does I hope she remembers this song and sings it softly in her mind. 

A few minutes of rocking and singing, 

She is sound asleep in my arms. 

Goodnight, sweet Lennon.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her into your heart

Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude, don't be afraid

You were made to go out and get her

The minute you let her under your skin

Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool

By making his world a little colder

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah 

Hey Jude, don't let me down

You have found her, now go and get her

Remember to let her into your heart

Then you can start to make it better

 

Hey Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her under your skin

Then you'll begin to make it

Better better better better
