 Artist: Pease In Angel Keeping ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ +*+*+*+*+*+ In deepest hour of nighttime sleep, My babes are blessed in angel keep. Motes of stardust kiss their eyes, Until the morning sun does rise. Peaceful in the cloak of sleeping, Safe from harm in angel keeping. O’er their cribs wee lambs are leaping, Thru’ the shutters moonbeams peeping. In deepest hour of nighttime sleep, My babes are blessed in angel keep. Motes of stardust kiss their eyes, Until the morning sun does rise. +*+*+*+*+*+ |

"A sailless vessel drops adown the stream, And like it, to a sea as wide and deep, Thou driftest gently down the tides of sleep. The picture reminded me of these lines from Longfellow (excerpt- "To a child")great chioce... The poem (yours) has that modern/classic feel to it, that makes it a wonderful read soothing, loving....real.....  ------------ice ><> |
