Baby Moonlight, Filters through the curtains, Kissing her bedspread. Loving hands, Smooth a wrinkle from her sheets, Caress her tiny face. Her eyes are closed, A smile plays on her lips. She sleeps in silence, A tiny porcelain doll, Lying with her teddy bears. Lynne "He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened." Lao-tsu |

yep, now just add some big dark eyes for when they are supposed to be sleeping AND letting you sleep, but instead they want to play .....no really great poem [This message has been edited by Corazon (edited 08-07-2000).] |
