Akoni
Brayden wakes up in the middle of the night and Logan gets up. I see her silhouette go into the closet and she comes out in a nightgown and is putting on a robe. She leaves the door open and walks into Brayden's room. She must have picked him up because he has stopped crying. Next thing I hear is the rocking chair swaying back and forth.
I hear her talking to him telling him how he's safe now and there's no reason to cry. She tells him how she is there for him and won't ever let him go. That no matter what she will always be there for him. "This is a lullaby that my mom and dad used to sing to me at night. It's about the baby Jesus." she tells him. Then I hear the most beautiful sound I've ever heard, a woman singing to a child. I've never heard this song before, it goes like this:
A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea
Mi Jesus tiene sueño
Bendito sea, bendito sea.
A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea
Mi Jesus tiene sueño
Bendito sea, bendito sea.
Fuentecilla que core,
Clara-y sonora.
Ruiseñor q'en la selva
Cantando lloras.
Callad mientras la cuna se balancea
A la nanita nana, nanita ea.
A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea
Mi Jesus tiene sueño
Bendito sea, bendito sea.
Florecilla del campo, rosa en capullo
Duerme vida mia, mientras te arullo.
Callad mientras la cuna se balancea
A la nanita nana, nanita ea.
A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea
Mi Jesus tiene sueño
Bendito sea, bendito sea.
She puts him back into his crib and shuts his door. She crawls back into bed and into my arms. "I love you." I whisper.
