While you were sleeping, I sat by your bed.
I watched you as you smiled through your dreams.

I traced your perfect shell ear,
touched every curl on your little head.

I tried to sleep but the sound of your breathing
Drew me back to your room.
 

I couldn't resist the magic which tugged
At my heartstrings and brought me to your side.

I settled on the floor once again.
Back against the wall, holding your tiny hand in mine.

While you were sleeping
I fell in love with you all over again.
