I gently put my hand
upon your head,
I watch you in
your sweet slumber.

I caress your cheek
while you sleep,
I try not to
wake you up.

I put my hand
upon your chest,
to feel the
beating of your heart.

A single tear
forms in the corner
of my eye,
I hope to
never leave this
moment in time behind.

I place a kiss
upon your tiny brow,
while I watch you
in this sweet slumber.
