Goodnight, Love

Lay your little head, my love On that fluffed up pillow so white Close your heavy eyelids, love I’ve just come to say goodnight I lightly kiss your forehead, love Run my fingers through your hair Reach to turn your lamp off, love And tuck you in with care I sit for but a moment, love To watch your peaceful sleep Such a precious picture, love It forever will I keep Sleep tight, lovebug May sweet dreams fill your head And as the world buzzes on outside You’ll be safe in bed

Wow, Jennifer. I really liked this. I have a two year old girl and I've been thinking of writing something simular to this for quite a while. I LOVE the repetion of Love, Love IS both a noun AND a verb, isn't it? ;-) Well done! Cyndi
