Baby

My baby I'm tired, and just want to sleep
I know you'll be up before long
You'll awaken and need me all through the night
I'll force my eyes open and hum you a song
The night will seem endless, the sunrise too soon

Your sweet little smiles
Your warm little sighs
Your soft fuzzy head
Your hand finding mine
Your perfect round cheeks
Your angelic gaze
You're beautiful, beautiful


So though I am tired, I'm secretly glad
For I know you'll be bigger by morning

Hi Wendy. I just read this poem you wrote. It's really beautiful and has reminded me to enjoy my little boy in all his 'babyiness'. He's started waking up again at night and it's so painful to go back to all that sleep deprivation. But you're words have reminded me that this won't last forever and I will miss this time when it has passed.
