It's the little things that mean the most.....

When I pray for these children my prayer is for them to have kind, loving hearts....this is our life...our journey...our Hardy Hearts....

Sleeping Lila

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!
