As my daughters
do lie in sleep,
I pray the angels
will guard and keep,
Them safe within
their wings of light,
Through all the hours
of every night.
And as they rise
to greet each day,
May angel love
light their way.

Just like a Mother...
You left me thinking of each and every generation that has come before,
and how it is one of the few things that remain the same.

My little girls grew up way tooo fast for my liking! They still look precious when they are sleeping and I ask for angel protection for them.

Awwww this reminds me of one I wrote not long ago. I can sure relate to this. Seeing their tiny little faces, and their movements while they sleep, and you would swear Angels are dancing above their head as they sleep!! Just beautiful. No wonder they inspire us! Lovely!

Thank you for the "lovely" reply! Yes, one can actually sense the angel presence in the room when children are sleeping.

Written for my children...

"Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray dear Lord, my soul to keep

Gaurd me safely through the night,
and wake me with the morning light.

I am so small, and need your hand,
as I learn to walk in this big land.

Pick me up, and carry me through,
and teach me what YOU would do.

Forgive me when I'm not so nice,
and when mama has to tell me twice.

As I sleep, watch over me,
and protect me from what I can't see."

Your's was BEAUTIFUL, and it reminded me of this one that I wrote some time ago.

Thank you for sharing!

I haven't seen around lately! Hope all is well with you, Tima!

Your prayerful poem was beautiful. I found myself whispering it out loud.---That sounded rather oxymoronic, didn't it? lol

Love & Light,
Linda

Oh, they aren't so little anymore! They have grown up so fast! It seems like just yesterday that they were in matching sailor dresses and pigtails!

Keep dreaming, and your dream girl will appear when you least expect it!
