God Bless His Sleepy Little Head he's fading quickly into the zone rubbing his eyes, dragging binky behind He puts away his Fisher Price phone No fight tonight - his mother won't mind. smiling and amazed, for once, his notion a warm dream catcher for a bed rocking him gently like ships on an ocean God Bless his sleepy little head There's a bear in his arms and a Mickey Mouse clock whose eyes watch for monsters who feed on lost socks A soft furry pet, huddled snug at his feet Which one of the two will first find sleep? his eyes fluttering quickly, his smile so content his mom's love surrounds like a nurturing tent A kiss on his hair, splayed wildly on bed Angels in the air God bless his sleepy head 1/16/2002 JkF |

to Poetry In Motion: how's this? not exactly the best poem i ever wrote, but sort of an anthem, in a twisted way *smile* the Shadow Rider Boots crush pebbles that are his only home A road never traveled, the route is clearly drawn Life's burdens secured on his back Encased in canvas memories There is always another crossroads - Another decision for the Rider of Shadows This vagabond's road map is an endless timeline Sick of asking directions People always tell you where to go Shadow Rider lives in a hurricane eye of his own making But he travels alone Freedom is never without a huge cost . . . |

Shadow, Very sweet, caring and sensitive. There is nary a more precious moment than resting your cheek on the head of your sleeping child. Wonderful poem. Roger |

ShadowRider - What a wonderful poem! I thoroughly enjoyed this with my coffee this morning - it brought a tear and a smile. Going into my library. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

There's a bear in his arms and a Mickey Mouse clock whose eyes watch for monsters who feed on lost socks you said it is not your best but it is my favorite..i loved it SR..it reminds me when i would fall asleep watching tv when i was a little girl and my father would carry me to bed. ~Victoria~ You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. -Ziggy [This message has been edited by Victoria (01-17-2002 10:22 AM).] |
