In the rivers of a diamond sky
On a dark night just like this,
Three men set out on a boat.
The stars winked by.
The moon blinked an eye.
Nodding, the men did float.
Sing me a song of sixpence
Before I rest my eyes.
Let me kiss your sleeping lips
Before the magic dies.
You’re my destined prince come true
My hope on you relies,
As we go bobbing in our boat,
Among the sparkling skies.
And in my rivers of diamond sky,
We sleep in a lullaby boat.
Dragons go by as they guard the night,
From their seat in a milky way moat.
And I’m a fairy princess girl
Arms wrapped around my prince.
And as we sleep, our dreams we keep,
In sheets of purple chintz.
Because fairy tales,
Make pleasant dreams,
For the child within our hearts.
They tell of love
We hope to see.
In sleep their magic starts.
Sing me a song of sixpence, baby
Before I rest my eyes.
Let me kiss your sleeping lips
Before the magic dies.
You’re my destined prince come true
My hope on you relies
As we go bobbing in our boat,
Among the sparkling skies.

Apologizing for No Reason: My Learned Habit
When I was growing up, I was taught to always say “sorry.” It was considered polite and a way to avoid getting noticed or punished. I did my best to be a good girl and stay out of trouble. Despite my efforts, the adults around me would still find something wrong and ask me to apologize. I didn’t realize I could stand up for myself because no one taught me that.
