| Child In Slumber On this night the floors I pace As I gaze on your angelic face For while I dare to watch you sleep Your sweet innocence causes me to weep I pull you close to suckle my breast but you continue with your rest And while I wait for you to wake it is this promise to you I make For I will cradle you in my arms to protect you from life's many harms As your mother my life I would give, so you my beautiful child should live. Traci C. Stevens 1998 |
