Quiet Little Child

Quiet Little child, so at peace you are as you sleep on, such dreams you must be having. Watching you lying there without a care in the world. Waiting until you awake, so I can see your beautiful smile that you always give to me and to tell you how much I love you. written 4-17-11 For my grandson Brandon

Beautiful sentiment, James, and heartfelt write! Thanks for sharing. Though my poem "Finest Wine" was not about wine itself, I would like to congratulate you on 25 years of sobriety. :) Caroline.

Yes. The image of a child asleep is priceless - the perfect picture of innocence, quiet, and God's love. Love, daver
