Soft sobs gently cease as
I sing "Brahms'
Lullaby," at the
End of the day. while
Night descends and changes from restlessness to
Calmness, the soothing song
Enables sleep.

Review of 'Man on the Run'
My wife and I saw Man on the Run, a nearly 2-hour documentary on Amazon Prime, about Wings, Paul McCartney's group that flew around the world from shortly after The Beatles broke up in early 1970 to shortly after John Lennon was murdered at the end of 1980, making a Beatles reunion forever impossible.

Lovely & soothing⦠I used to croon Brahms Lullaby to my babies⦠largely in desperation!
A lucky baby to be so soothed π
Even reading this in italics made me feel comforted, and I can imagine that change from "restlessness to calmness" is so rewarding:)
Such precious moments that end all too quickly. A beautiful focus for the challenge Babs! π
Very sweet and wonderfully said
The sweetest kind of silence. Loved it
This is beautifulπ₯°
I agree with Andrea LOVELY poem
Lovely Babs!
Such a comfort inducing piece! Well done, Babs!
Aww, I could feel the calm descending as I read. Lovely piece, Babs!!
Beautiful respite at work.

This is delightful Babs. Nicely done πβ€οΈπ
Simply Beautiful Babs! I β€οΈ it!
Oh Babs, I so love babies and know grandchildren aren't in the cars for me. Now I understand why old ladies like me stopped and cooed at my baby years ago. It's in us to want to see the newness, the innocence so fresh in a wee bundle. Lovely entry!
Kind of want to suck my thumb now.
This was such a soothing poem! Loved your Acrostic!
aww you can feel a soothing lullaby reading this
The way you describe the transition from restlessness to calmness through Brahms' Lullaby is lovely and captures the essence. Love this, Babs! ππ₯°
That was perfect, Babs. The right amount of everything to paint a calming picture of much-needed silent rest. πππ
This feels like a lullaby in a way. Nicely done, beautiful word. Great job as always, Babs!
