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’s no celestial form above
That would not find delight to share
Its mystic glow and shine upon
The lovely creature sleeping there

It is the moon outshining stars
That rests on shoulder's tiny rim
But halo of an angel’s crown
Came down from heaven to touch his skin

Liz....I'm thinking this is for one of your beautiful grandchildren.  They must be very proud to have a gramma like you!
