She Sleeps

She sleeps And peacefully, Breathing so heavily, Sweet dreaming of beautiful things Her heart longs for in her waking moments Now solely in her slumbering Beautiful in her mind Wholly content, She sleeps.

So sweet, Milt. Brought back memories of my daughter lying on the pillow as a little kid. Totally precious. Thanks, Gershon

This make me want to sleep and yet here I am at 1:49 a.m. wide awake! I may have to reread this; it is so relaxing and comforting.

Go for it. That's sometimes the time I am first crawling into bed. I'm a late stayer-upper.
