A free, original lullaby written just for the name Cyrus — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
Cyrus sleeps where moonlight glows,
Wrapped in night's repose,
Tiny hands, so still and warm,
Safe from any storm.
Silver stars begin to play,
Twinkling soft and gay,
Cyrus smiles in dreamy rest,
Stars above him blessed.
Moonbeams dance on baby's face,
Full of gentle grace,
Cyrus drifts on clouds so high,
Beneath the starry sky.

Origin — Old Persian, via Greek
From the Greek Kyros, rendering the Old Persian Kūruš, the name of the founder of the Achaemenid empire.
Where sources disagree: The meaning is disputed. “Young”, “sun” and “humiliator of the enemy” have all been proposed; the ancient Greeks themselves offered “sun”, which is probably folk etymology.
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 Cyrus 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.
