Sleep
At this very moment
I am watching you sleep.
Lovingly. Quietly.
You-
Sleeping like a child;
Your fetal curl appealing for security.
And love.
I look at you
All so calm and worry-free;
Unmindful of our chores next morning.
You dreamily, almost inaudibly
Mumbled something in your sleep.
It sounded like a name.
What was that?
Oh.
Mine.
All of a sudden your eyes start to flutter
Almost as if about to wake from a dream.
I stroke your short, almost-boyish hair;
Gently kiss you on the forehead
And you instantly get pacified.
Ah--
My beautiful little angel.
I can watch you sleep forever.
I am watching you sleep.
Lovingly. Quietly.
You-
Sleeping like a child;
Your fetal curl appealing for security.
And love.
I look at you
All so calm and worry-free;
Unmindful of our chores next morning.
You dreamily, almost inaudibly
Mumbled something in your sleep.
It sounded like a name.
What was that?
Oh.
Mine.
All of a sudden your eyes start to flutter
Almost as if about to wake from a dream.
I stroke your short, almost-boyish hair;
Gently kiss you on the forehead
And you instantly get pacified.
Ah--
My beautiful little angel.
I can watch you sleep forever.
