Sleeping Boy

Sleeping boy
As he rests on my chest
In quiet slumber, he peacefully rests
Grips on my finger
A smile perched on his lips
With thoughts of angels 
Somewhere, giving him a kiss
Bearer of light
That’s what he’ll be
Sweet, caring, benevolent
Is what I’ll teach him to be
So, for now, sleeping boy
As you rest on my chest
An angel face,
That makes my heart smile with just a gaze
This world is yours to see
Never let anyone dim your light
Or overshadow all that you can be
You’re meant to do great things
All the things I wish to live to see.

I am optimistic when I read this for the angels and the mothers love their children too much to let fear rule the world. A sweet reminder of what is real.
