Late Night
Zzzzzz....
He's sound asleep.
His passy falls out of his mouth.
I take the passy and rub his head.
Beads of sweat fall down his face
Taking the covers off of his,
I let him lay
After awhile he moves a bit
But he settles right back in the same spot.
As I watch my nephew sleep,
My eyes get heavy and weak
I close my eyes
And now I'm at peace
