Rest Beauty

As she lie here asleep I watch her breast rise and her eyes flicker My lovely wife, my raison d'etre, the mother of my child Yes my child, I see the baby in the way my wife scowls in her sleep That little snore that makes her lips pull apart, then rejoin It's moments like this that I see my wife's beauty, while she rests No make up, no hair dressing No arguing, no laughter Just my wife in all her splendid purity Such a beauty as she rests She would be in a tizzy if she knew I was watching her But this moment is for me, this moment that reassures, she is magnificent My love, My Beauty, Rest Beauty, rest.
