At the end of many of my therapy sessions, I like to sing a calming song or two so that the transition from music is a little smoother. Lately I've been favoring a Laurie Berkner song called "Mahalo" (which means thank you in Hawaiian), but I have a long list to choose from.
Along this same vein, I love writing and singing lullabies, though I don't have much use for them in the work that I do, nor do I have a child to sing to sleep! Earlier this year, I recorded a CD of lullabies and gave them as gifts to several colleagues and family members who were expecting. I had so much fun singing these beautiful, soothing songs, and thought I'd share one of my favorites with you. I didn't write it - I found it in one of my songbooks and I'm so glad I did :)
Heaven and earth will cease to be,
But the sweet music, but the sweet music,
But the sweet music, eternally.
Heaven and earth will cease to be,
But the sweet music, but the sweet music,
But the sweet music, eternally.
It's short, but very sweet indeed. Goodnight all!
