A Nursery Rhyme for Jack
A free, original lullaby written just for the name Jack — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
Twinkle for Jack
Up above the quiet earth
Each little star finds its worth
They twinkle just for baby Jack
A glowing nightlight on his back
The moon peeks in with silver beams
To visit Jack in soft moonbeams
She hums a tune both low and deep
To guard his rest while grownups sleep
The velvet sky is stitched with light
To keep the dark from feeling fright
And Jack will dream till morning's near
With starry friends to hold him dear

What does the name Jack mean?
Origin — English, from Hebrew
A medieval English pet form of John, by way of Jankin — John itself is the Hebrew Yochanan, “Yahweh is gracious”.
Where sources disagree: The long-standing claim that Jack comes from the French Jacques is now rejected; the Jankin line is documented.
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.
