There you lie sleeping
Cherubic face
My eyes, my cheeks
My neuroses
I whisper in your ear
sweet one
words of love
And affirmations
So untouched and pure
Yet time will take its toll,
that I know
The world will break you
and taint you
And you will soon be mine no more
You will forget these moments
when I hold you
and guide you, singing
songs that fade into dark
songs I hope remain
imprinted on your heart
Here you lie sleeping
precious one
Your eyes, your cheeks
Your spirit
I whisper in your ear
despite my fears
words of peace
and contentment
Sleep on

I wrote this one quickly on a whim, just what was in my heart. It could probably still use some work.
