Francine Roberts Poet Couplet

Sherri At Three

Snuggled deeply in her bed,
                          
  Dreams are playing in her head.

 Quiet and peaceful she lays there,

    Relaxed face and tumbled hair.

 Peaceful she is when at rest
                                   
  And her behavior at its best.


 In the morning the sun will rise

   And once again she'll open her eyes.

 Up and about to greet the day,

    Out of her bed and off to play.

  Not at all the same little one

   Who was so still when day was done.
