A special gift for Henry
Holding a worn blue blanket at bedtime
Henry's Blue Blanket
Henry's Blue Blanket
Lullaby
Slow and quiet, sung softly over a small arrangement - written to be played at bedtime.
Free to keep
Henry has a blanket blueWorn as soft as morning dewOne good corner in your handThat is all the world you plannedIt has been to grandma's chairIt has been on every stairIt has caught a hundred tearsIt has held you all these yearsHush now Henry hold it nearBlue and soft and nearly bareHush now Henry close your eyesSomeone loves you everywhereEvery thread has heard you sleepEvery thread will keep it deepWash it dry it hang it highIt will still be here nearbyHush now Henry hold it nearBlue and soft and nearly bareHush now Henry close your eyesSomeone loves you everywhere
Lullaby

The story behind this song
A soft, worn blue blanket comes to bed with him every night, corners rubbed thin from years of holding on.
Why this moment matters
A single object worn thin from years of holding on says more about a childhood than almost anything else in the room.
