My Slumbering Child

Your little breathes of air They're like descending cherry blossoms Your rising and falling chest It's like the lull of waves Your flickering eyelids Are like the songs of birds Your peaceful face Shines like a starry nights moon Your tiny hands holding mine Are like penguin families sticking close Your smile when you awaken Is like a glimpse of Heaven Your love for me Is the most precious gift I could have Your dripping tears Is like all the pain I have ever known Your faith in me Is a bond no one can sever Your sweet, little person It's hard to believe... That you are my beautiful, sweet child
