While You Lay There Sleeping

WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING....
Changing Diapers and Midnight Feedings
were just a few things i had to
do...
Holding, Kissing, and Smiling Proudly
is all i could do, when i saw you sleeping
soundly.
WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING....
I began pulling the cover's up on you,
making sure that you were nice and warm..
Just as i did, back then, when you were a
newborn.
WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING....
I see nothing but pure perfection on your
face,
For you are  My Creation, My Reflection, and the
Harmony that fit's perfectly into
place.
WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING....
I sit here thinking about our day today.
Bouncing Balls, Running Races, Screams and
Calls with Smiling Faces.
"Come Daddy, Let's Play! " I heared you say..
and at that moment, i wished that every day could
be this way.
WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING....
You have reached the age of three..
tossing and turning in your sleep.
As your eyes began to open..starring at  me,
still very sleepy, saying in a whisper..
" I Love You Daddy!", Then falling back to sleep,
For this is a moment frozen in time, that i will always
charish and keep.
WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING....
I thank God for blessing me with you..
My Son
My # 1 and My Best Friend until the
end.
For i am your father in every way...
My Prince, My Prescious...the face that lights up my faith...
and
The spirit that fills my heart
everyday.
WHILE YOU LAY THERE SLEEPING....
So continue to dream sweet dreams...While your 
Smiling and Calling for me in your
dreams.
For this is my bedtime story for tonight, I love you my son,
let me turn off this light, but first..let me give you a kiss..and
wish you a goodnight...

The End!!!
