Caden’s Little Lullaby
Caden’s Little Lullaby
by Aunt Alice Jane-Marie Massa
NOTE: On September 25, 2015, the 132nd anniversary of the birth of my maternal grandmother, Grandma Store’s great-great-grandson marked his four-week birthday. Today, September 28, is the one-month birthday of my grand-nephew Caden James. For this happy occasion, I wrote the following lyrics for Eric and Marissa to sing to their growing baby boy. As you know from my previous writings, Lanie is my grand-niece and Caden’s big sister.
* * *
When Lanie says, “Nightie-night,
little brother, little dear,”
kisses for Caden
while Mommy holds you near.
Mommy and Daddy
will sing this for you–
Caden’s own lullaby:
our dreams have come true.
Caden’s little lullaby
with blessings for you.
* * *
Happy dreams to all,
Aunt Alice and Zoe

Post-script: Due to this special occasion, I am posting this week’s blog on Monday, rather than the usual Wednesday.
What a sweet lullaby. With that, I’m heading off to bed myself.
Thanks, Abbie. One of these days, I will take the time to share the music that accompanies the lyrics with you. Alice
Wonderful. Thanks Aunt Alice. grin
