A free, original lullaby written just for the name Gemma — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
Little Gemma, soft and small,
Stars above her bedroom wall,
Moonbeams dance on tiny toes,
That's the way the starlight goes.
Silver stars begin to glow,
Painting light on Gemma's brow,
Night sky sings a gentle tune,
Wrapped beneath a crescent moon.
Twinkle, twinkle, far and near,
Every star holds Gemma dear,
Glowing embers, warm and bright,
Guard her through the peaceful night.
Written for Gemma
A sample anyone can read. A keepsake poster gets a newly written rhyme.

Origin — Italian, from Latin
From the Italian and Latin gemma, “gem, precious stone” — a word that originally meant “bud” on a vine.
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 Gemma 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.
