When you see your child sleeping

it makes you stop and smile.

It’s as if you’ve discovered pure innocence…

and you want to linger there awhile.

He sleeps in peace and wonder

all her energy…confined.

Any anxieties and troubles from the day

in sleep…are left behind.

When you see your child sleeping

so natural, so tender and so free

You wonder what tomorrow will bring…

what he or she will be.

Will he be the one who cures cancer?

Is she the one the world is looking for?

Will he help end world hunger?

Will she bring a stop to war?

Will she find peace and joy?

Will he have many friends?

Will she be healthy? Will he be wise?

Will they be happy in the end?

But those are questions for tomorrow…

questions that can keep…

Tonight you’re happy you had the chance…

just to watch them sleep.

Happy they are unharmed…unhurt

and safe within your keeping…

Happy you were blessed this moment…

to see your child sleeping.
