While You Lay There Sleeping

WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING.... Changing Diapers and Midnight Feedings were just a few things i had to do... Holding, Kissing, and Smiling Proudly is all i could do, when i saw you sleeping soundly. WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING.... I began pulling the cover's up on you, making sure that you were nice and warm.. Just as i did, back then, when you were a newborn. WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING.... I see nothing but pure perfection on your face, For you are My Creation, My Reflection, and the Harmony that fit's perfectly into place. WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING.... I sit here thinking about our day today. Bouncing Balls, Running Races, Screams and Calls with Smiling Faces. "Come Daddy, Let's Play! " I heared you say.. and at that moment, i wished that every day could be this way. WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING.... You have reached the age of three.. tossing and turning in your sleep. As your eyes began to open..starring at me, still very sleepy, saying in a whisper.. " I Love You Daddy!", Then falling back to sleep, For this is a moment frozen in time, that i will always charish and keep. WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING.... I thank God for blessing me with you.. My Son My # 1 and My Best Friend until the end. For i am your father in every way... My Prince, My Prescious...the face that lights up my faith... and The spirit that fills my heart everyday. WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING.... So continue to dream sweet dreams...While your Smiling and Calling for me in your dreams. For this is my bedtime story for tonight, I love you my son, let me turn off this light, but first..let me give you a kiss..and wish you a goodnight... The End!!! .

You are so blessed. When my son was young my husband complained at how many times he was awoken in the night. I said you never got up once to which he stated yeah but when you get outta bed it disturbs me. Poooor baby. Im happy for you and your son. Laurie
