COT DEATH

Sweet angelic cherub

All dimples and laughing eyes

Arms and legs a waving

Chubby fingers, chubby thighs

A carrier of dreams and hopes

Possible futures still untapped

Swaddled in diapers and love

Is laid down for a regular nap

 

All is joy and happiness

Whatever path his future may take

He goes to sleep so peacefully

But alas will never awake.
