Jessie Jones Poet Rhyme

Sweet Sleeping Child

Sweet sleeping child
What a beautiful sight
Dreams running wild
A future oh so bright

In the calm night
No worries to be found
You are my light
In my arms safe and sound

I gaze away
Ponder Heaven on Earth
Thank Him, I pray
Your miraculous birth

A Mother's love
Unwavering and pure
Gift from above
This blessed child I'm sure 

Peace comes to me
Sweet sleeping child of mine
A soul I see
Beautiful and divine

Worth more than gold
So innocent and free
My heart you hold
Forever, my baby

My saving grace
My purpose for living
A sweet embrace
I'll always be giving

My little one
I'll protect you, sleep tight
My moon, my sun
You are all that is right

So fast you'll grow
In a blink of an eye
Before you know
Time will zip right on bye

So rest right here
Let me hold you awhile
and keep you near
My sweet, sweet sleeping child

Quoth Theraven January 24, 2021 at 4:26 PM Jessie, Never understood the connection between mother and child. But your poem suggests something very special. Reminded of a quote by -Aristotle 'The whole is greater than the sum of its parts'.

Caren Krutsinger January 14, 2021 at 10:20 AM So beautifully written. There is nothing like a sleeping baby, and a mother’s love. Jessie Jones January 15, 2021 at 1:11 PM Second to none. Thank you Caren
