A Mother's lullaby – Stormy Nights
What's in bold and italics is the song!
Thanks for beta'ing Lady!
"Hush," Lilly said as she rocked her baby boy, calming him as the storm outside raged on.
The emerald eyed baby boy let out another whimper as the wind howled outside and the tree branches banged against the nursery window.
"Be calm my precious one," Lily said softly, as she sat down in the rocking chair and began to sing while rocking backwards and forwards and stroking her son's hair.
Little child, be not afraid
Through rain pounds harshly against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger, there is no danger
I am here tonight
The rain crashed against the window but with a simple movement from her wand, the storm outside was taken away and the nursery became calm.
Little child, be not afraid
Though thunder explodes and lightning flash
Illuminates your tear-stained face
I am here tonight
With only the love a mother could manage, Lily took out a soft white tissue and cleaned her little boy's face, making the tears disappear and giving her son a kiss on the forehead.
And someday you'll know
That nature is so
The same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
On forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you'll see
In the morning.
Lily gave a soft smile as she watched Harry snuggle up to her, her words calming her baby boy.
Little child, be not afraid
Though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight
With another flick of her wand, Lily took her son's attention to the calming lights on the nursery ceiling though her baby's attention was on the light's his small hand was still tightly gripping his mother's top, knowing that she'd protect him.
Little child, be not afraid
Though wind makes creatures of our trees
And their branches to hands, they're not real, understand
And I am here tonight
The wind outside made the tree branches bang against the window once more but neither mother nor son noticed nor cared.
For you know, once even I was a
Little child, and I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears
And to give a kiss good night
With a smile, Lily placed a loving kiss on her baby boy's head, just like her mother used to do for her and Petunia, memories danced in her head but her heart was only for her baby at this moment.
Well now I am grown
And these years have shown
That rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'Til your frightened eyes do close
With that Lily stood up and began to sway as she moved around the room, the motion causing her precious boy to give a yawn.
And I hope that you'll know…
Lily softly placed Harry down in his cot and gave him another kiss as she covered him with a red blanket with a stag on it.
Everything's fine in the morning
The rain'll be gone in the morning
But I'll still be here in the morning
"Lily, quick take Harry and run! It's Voldemort! His here!"
The End.
