Watching My Baby Sleep







Watching my baby sleep.




Is like watching a part of me breathe outside my body.




It is the gift of seeing peace.




Her rest is mine and yet I am awake.




The sweet arch of her lip and crease of her chin




four years and they are unchanged.




Is it possible an angel rests beside me?




Can she really be mine?




To be trusted with such things...




It can only mean this...




I am truly loved by someone.




Author of my story.




The gift of immeasurably more.




My heart is yours...




and I fall more in love




with every breath that she takes.
