A free, original lullaby written just for the name Colton — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
Little Colton, soft and small,
Cradled safe through evening's fall,
Silver moonbeams kiss his face,
Wrapping him in gentle grace.
Tiny stars up high above,
Twinkle with a parent's love,
They will watch while Colton sleeps,
Through the night his vigil keeps.
Velvet sky of deepest blue,
Painted just for Colton, too,
Every star a lullaby,
Rocking babies, you and I.
Written for Colton
A sample anyone can read. A keepsake poster gets a newly written rhyme.

Origin — Old English
From an English place name, “Cola’s farmstead” — Cola being a byname from col, “coal”, for someone dark-haired or dark-complexioned.
We follow the standard reference works on given names, and we say so plainly when a meaning is unsettled rather than choosing the prettiest one.
Every BabyVerse verse is built around one name and its sound, so Colton hears their own name carried through the meter rather than dropped into a blank. That is the whole difference between a keepsake and a personalised product: the words could not be reused for another child.
Parents read it at bedtime. Grandparents and godparents frame it. Either way it is the one gift on the table that no one else can duplicate — which is why it tends to outlast everything else in the pile.
