Grandmother Loved Poetry

When my sister, brother and I were children, our Grandmother would recite poetry and sing songs to us, like all good Grandmothers do.

  I have been going through many pages of my Great-Grandmother Kirkpatricks work. She was a song writer and publisher of music. I have her original sheet music and handwritten lyrics and poetry. I will treat you to some of it soon, Dear Readers.

This little poem, may have had music, but I don't remember. It was one of many that my Grandmother wrote down for me years ago. It has no title and I have no idea who wrote it. Maybe someone will remember it.

Baby's boat is the silver moon, shining in the sky,

Sailing over a sea of dreams, while the clouds drift by.

Sail Baby sail, out upon life's sea,

Only don't forget to sail, back again to me.
