Sleep Song for My Girls

I love poetry, just like I love the lyrics of a good song.  Tonight while I was reading some poems, I stumbled on this sweet poetic reminder of my two little girls (not so little any more?).  This poem is called "Sleep Song" and it is written by Ephemera.  I tweaked the ending just a bit to work for both of my "girls".

sleep song

by ephemera

Bedtime, little moonbeam.
See the stars? They're sleepy, too—
all blinky-eyed and snuggled in
like you need to do;

but the very, very moment
that you drift off into slumber,
the whole world sighs and smiles
at you, its dreaming little wonder,

and the bunnies in their hutches
and the sparrows in their nests,
they sleep, too, my little moon,
all fuzzy, warm and blessed

to have spent another perfect day
with perfect girls like you.
Now tomorrow waits to meet you,
and I'll be waiting, too.
