Sweet Sleeping Child

Sweet sleeping child What a beautiful sight Dreams running wild A future oh so bright In the calm night No worries to be found You are my light In my arms safe and sound I gaze away Ponder Heaven on Earth Thank Him, I pray Your miraculous birth A Mother's love Unwavering and pure Gift from above This blessed child I'm sure Peace comes to me Sweet sleeping child of mine A soul I see Beautiful and divine Worth more than gold So innocent and free My heart you hold Forever, my baby My saving grace My purpose for living A sweet embrace I'll always be giving My little one I'll protect you, sleep tight My moon, my sun You are all that is right So fast you'll grow In a blink of an eye Before you know Time will zip right on bye So rest right here Let me hold you awhile and keep you near My sweet, sweet sleeping child

Jessie, Never understood the connection between mother and child. But your poem suggests something very special. Reminded of a quote by -Aristotle 'The whole is greater than the sum of its parts'.

So beautifully written. There is nothing like a sleeping baby, and a mother’s love.
