Slumbering, blanketed, frail little tots
Innocence hovering above in their thoughts
Listen to nothingness as shadows creep by
Even the stars are hushed in the sky
Nodding and blinking the babes to their sleep
Cries are not heard, not even a peep
Every good nighttime is a moment to keep

Amazing poem! I could listen to it every night!🥰
It’s like a lullaby ♥️
Brought back gorgeous memories of my hyper child asleep... and those moments of love, relief and peace!
This is beautiful Meagan. So perfectly written the wonder of children as they peacefully sleep through the night. This is excellence in writing.
