Awake.

Embedded image from another site




I am awake
she is sleeping
my sweetest baby...

I am tired
but can't help stare
at her loveliness...

I trace her features
with my eyes
follow the lines on her lips..

I gently kiss
her sleepy eyelids
brush my hands on her cheeks...

She smiles
she breathes
she sighs...

Impossible to resist
I re-snuggle her
and lay happily awake...
