Gentle child of the night You have lured the angels near With the fragrance of your breath And the sweetness of your tear Little curls on little head Rested in a pillow deep Little windows, little eyes Covered with the shades of sleep Who invited radiance Reflected on a silver moon To lay its glow of pearly white Across the silence of your room? There are no heavenly hosts above Who would not care to gather near And shine their mystic glow upon The lovely creature sleeping here An opal moon outshines the stars And rests on shoulder’s tiny rim But halo of an angel’s crown Came down from heaven to touch her skin Elizabeth Santos |

As the mother of six, grandmother of twenty one and great grandmother of twenty five I can feel the love and devotion one feels for a sleeping child. Beautifully done. Love 'un stuff Billie C. |

As I read your poem I think of how I just watched my two grandsons fall to sleep. Little angels resting their heads and the heavenly host also watching too. Love your poem. |

You share so much with us as you write of children and innocence. I love how you see the world around you - and I am grateful that you share it with us. Alison |

Babysitting can be so special can't it? I watch my two growing up and wonder how it all happened so fast? |
