A Kangaroo’s Lullaby

Hush now, my darling, the moon’s in the sky,

Stars softly whisper a sweet lullaby.

Curl in my pouch, where it’s cosy and warm,

Safe in my love, far from all harm.

Stay close, little Joey, don’t wander too far,

The world isn’t kind when it knows who we are.

With Daddy beside us and me holding tight,

We’ll keep you safe through the darkest of night.

There’s danger beyond where the tall grasses sway,

Not every shadow is just here to play.

Some hearts out there don’t see what we feel,

They forget that our love, like theirs, is real.

So stay close, little Joey, don’t run from my side,

Let me be your shelter, your wings when you hide.

We hop through the wild, but my arms never tire—

You’re the beat of my heart, my soul, my fire.

If they could just see you asleep on my chest,

Your soft tiny heartbeat, your peaceful rest…

Would they still raise their hands with no shame,

Or would they turn back and whisper your name?

So stay close, little Joey, for love’s gentle sake,

We dream of a world where none need to break.

One day may kindness bloom in their eyes,

And no joey will hear a mother’s goodbye…

Sleep now, my darling, let stars light your way—

In my arms forever, I’ll beg you to stay.

Because you are loved, so deeply, so true…

And I’d give all I have just to protect you.

Let me know if you’d like this recorded, paired with visuals, or turned into a children’s story for awareness. 🦘💔🌙
