A Fallen Sleep

Fast to dream
yet slow to wake
my baby has fallen asleep on me

My eyes stretched wide open
while hers so peaceful now rest at ease

So I sit and I wait
For her sleep is not mine to take

    This is a lovely poem. you have a way of painting pictures with your words. This gift you have is outstanding and as unique as the smile on Mona Lisa's face
