Dedicated To:

Certified Flight Instructor and Son Jeremy Binkley and

Musician and Soldier and Son Graham Binkley and

Computer Genius and Son(step) Aaron Binkley

While I sing

My prayers have wings

To you as you seek your dreams;

Now you’re grown

Night Watch is long--

More to fear now it seems.

So fight your battles

And face the fray;

Fly your dreams Through the skies;

Open your heart

Make life a fine art

As I sing my lullabies.

God and I are your greatest fans;

We talk of you all through the day.

I lift my hands

And hold my fasts;

The battle is God’s, while I pray

--As I sing my lullabies.

And should my time end

Before your time ends

Don’t anguish or weep in despair;

Just know God and I still keep our watch

As angels surround you there.

My love is eternal

And God hears your prayers

As we vigil and wait for  you;

And as you think of us

You may hear our refrain

As we sing our lullabye to you.
