Today I’m talking with two aspiring young writers, Amanda D. and Ashley A. of Florida. These two young ladies started writing within the last year and it was a joy to speak with them about their writing and then they even added some of their ideas about crafts. Thanks girls….you were both fun to have on the show.

I gave my Love a Cherry (Riddle Song) circa 1850 (Traditional) I gave my love a cherry that had no stone
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone
I gave my love a story that had no end
I gave my love a baby with no cryin How can you have a cherry that has no stone
How can you have a chicken that has no bone
How can you have a story that has no end
How can you have a baby with no cryinA cherry when it’s a-bloomin it has no stone
A chicken when it’s piping it has no bone
The story that I love you it has no end
A baby when she’s sleeping has no cryin
nooo
A baby when she’s sleeping has no cryin

Rocking the Baby to Sleep
Music and Lyrics by Pam Sargant
© August 14, 2006 Back and forth
Back and forth
Rocking the baby to sleep
Forth and back
Forth and back
Rocking the baby to sleep As I sit here rocking
And dreaming away
I wonder what life will
Hold for you someday
For as long as I live
Till time passes away
I will care for you
And I’m rocking the baby to sleepBack and forth
Back and forth
Rocking the baby to sleep
Forth and back
Forth and back
Rocking the baby to sleepMy precious little one
Asleep in my arms
I will make sure that
You come to no harm
For as long as I live
Till time passes away
I will care for you
And I’m rocking the baby to sleepBack and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
