Bedtime

Watching him drift into slumber
Skin like peaches and cream
His mind now starts to wander
To the place where we spin dreams
Angelic features soften
A gentleness governs him now
Breathing slows then softly deepens
I stroke my fingers over his brow
Body jerks as he finally surrenders
To the safety of falling asleep
I look in awe at his innocent beauty
And the love that i feel is so deep
