As I Watch You Sleep- by Wanda Gossett
I watched a little face sleeping,
Eyelashes fluttering so,
I wondered of the dream you were having,
and if Angles were playing there.
I watched a little face sleeping,
Your little mouth was smiling so,
I hope that you are as happy as me,
holding you in my arms.
I watched a little face sleeping,
making sure of the breath you take,
to watch you breathe and keep you safe,
is all that matters to me.
I watched a little face sleeping,
holding your small hand in mine,
five little fingers on each hand,
as one hangs onto mine
I watched a little face sleeping,
and as I prayed to myself,
I thank God for letting me
watch a little face sleeping.
I am thankful for my sleeping Lila...and these fleeting moments of her being a baby.... and my Iphone with the turn around camera! ;)....it's moments like this make my heart smile...oh I love her so!
