"Sleep Baby Sleep"

                                   

                           "Sleep Baby Sleep"

I felt like an owl when I peeked the clock of my laptop. To my surprise it was just 3 am…This was not the first time I was going through this phase…no this is nothing serious of that sort that might occur to your mind. There comes a time when I just can’t sleep or even shut my thoughts for a while. My brain becomes a machine and processes information with no reason! And this has nothing to do with overburden work or even a fussy life this even happens when things are pretty smooth and going my way. So I have stopped yapping about it to others and accept the phase with full praise as it comes to me.

What do I do to get my sleep, well all the tips and tops one can do drink milk, read a book, listen to soothing music etc etc… when everything stops working I kindle the light of my brain on my writing skills and bam! It works as a throttle beast…ideas, imaginations, creativity, thoughts all start to pour on fingertips.

But when I am tired and really want to sleep my mind sings to me the childhood rhyme “sleep baby Sleep” “thy  father watches his sheep’s”…today I decided to look in to this old rhyme and read it to the last. It took me back to my nostalgia of being in a uniform and singing in a course with the teacher and trying to hear our own voice in the rhyming voices! Yes this will be the memory of many like me who have recollections lost in the dust of our present life. It’s always a pleasure opening the books of our child hood and recollecting sweet and precious memories! Try that and feel the FEEL!

To your enjoyment I leave the Rhyme here for your recollections….

Sleep,baby, sleep!

Thy father watches his sheep;

Thy mother is shaking the dreamland tree,

And down falls a little dream on thee.

Sleep, baby, sleep!Sleep, baby, sleep!

The large stars are the sheep;

The little stars are the lambs I guess;

And the bright moon is the shepherdess.

Sleep, baby, sleep!
