A Babe Slumbers

Folder: 
Dedications

I cradled your body in my forearms
and watched you sleep.

 

I could see your dreams as
your eyelids rolled back and forth.

 

Your tiny toes tingled
when a sound stirred you.

 

Your little fingers
wrapped around one of mine.

 

You cooed as you drifted off again
into a peaceful rest.

 

I have never beheld such beauty
until I witnessed a babe slumber.
