Portrait of An Angel
With angels' kisses
dear little one hushed now to sleep.
With angels' breath
fanning your pearly cheeks.
Between unharmed breaths
a trace of angels' smile on your cherry lips.
Tell the story, sweet one
of the dream you're dreaming now.
Stories of angels that only you can tell.
Angelic mystery foretell.
Little babe, tucked now to bed.
A blissful slumber
with angels together
the heavens smile they all remember.
I'm sure you're slipping into some place
adorned by the heavens.
Songs of whispers and lullabies -
your quietude; the heaven's melody.
Fluffy pillows and soft blankets -
encircling your softness;
comforting your presence.
Little tucker, those tiny ticklish feet
Will they take me with your angels' fleet
To some place you keep?
As I too now fall asleep.
