Behold a Cherub Sleeping

Quietly I crept in
To behold a cherub sleeping
Dreaming like an angel
On a cloud all of his making

Baby scented pillows
Pooh bear blanket in his tiny clasp
It’s these distinct moments
I treasure and will forever grasp

Billows of tears fill my eyes
Knowing it’s only been three years
Since his birth, a great surprise.
Yet I can’t hold back the tears

Twinkle, twinkle my little one
Your blue eyes light up my night
I love you to the moon and back
Soon things will be alright

I wonder what you’re doing
As you yawn and contently slumber
Are you singing with the angels?
Drumming up a roaring thunder?

Are you signing star and sharing
Your laughter or your prayers
Are you dreaming of tomorrow
So much to do through the coming years.

May my love fill the holes
In your tiny heart
For you have filled my life
Thrown true love right off the chart

Who said you have to be of my womb
To love you as I do
Each day you are my miracle
Teaching me as I teach you.

Sh! Go back to your little dreams
We’ll wipe the sleepies from your eyes
Tomorrow will come soon enough
So will brighter skies.

another beautiful poem!! thank you for sharing them

Thank you Eileena... I'm having a hard time sleeping knowing I have to
face the pediatric cardiologist and surgeon tomorrow. Geez, it's just a
consultation... I can't imagine the actual day of the closure! I guess
I better go get some sleep!
