In Your Slumber
As you lay in your slumber
I watch you.
I see you in your restful state
And hope your dreams are sweet.
I smile at you and sigh a sigh
One only I will hear.
I know you soon will grow
To be a beauty and you’ll leave.
But for now, you are with me
And so it’s meant to be.
The times we have I’ll treasure
This love we share,
Will stay embedded in my mind
You’ll always know I care.
Your first day of school will be
Our very first goodbye.
The day you enter college I know
I’ll surely cry.
And on the day that
You will wed.
I’ll be choking back the tears,
As I think of all the fun we had
Throughout the many years.
You are my precious daughter
I’ll always love you so
And through the years of laughter
I hope you’ll always know.
As you lay there in your slumber
I watch you....
With tears in my eyes.
