Kangaroo Lullaby

Hush now, little joey dear,

Mummy’s close, I’m always near.

Snuggled safe inside my pouch,

Wrapped in love, so soft and sound.

Evening breeze and fading light,

Stars above will shine so bright.

Every hop, I carry you,

My moonlight joey, sweet and true.

Close your eyes, the world’s at rest,

Dreaming on your mother’s chest.

No place I would rather be—

Than holding you, so close to me.
