Lullabye

Emily walked downstairs crying because she'd fallen out of bed and hurt her leg. It hurt too much to walk back upstairs (of course), so I carried her up. I laid her in bed and she said, "Dad, I can't sleep. Will you sing to me?" For reasons obvious to anyone that's heard me sing, I haven't sung to my kids since I'd rock them to sleep as babies. I rubbed her back as I sung to her and she closed her eyes and smiled. I couldn't think of anything to sing to her at first, so I sung "Rock a bye baby" and then Kenny Roger's "The Gambler".
