MY LITTLE LIGHT
My little light is sleeping,
Extinguished for the night.
Sucking on his blanket,
His “Chipper” gathered tight.
My little light has faded,
Though in dreamland he may play.
Running, jumping, shouting,
As he does throughout his day.
My little light is dim now,
His breathing slow and deep.
If I had a camera,
His tranquility I would keep.
My little light just flickered,
He gave a quiet sigh.
I smile in my contentment,
Oh, too soon our days go by!

He gave a quiet sigh.
I smile in my contentment,
Oh, too soon our days go by!

"Oh, too soon our days go by!" All moms will tear up at that one! Too soon indeed.
A really special poem, Leslie
Oh, so sweet.... We need to know that contentment again. (Because even though they're bigger, and slop up their covers, they still sleep about the same as way back when.)
love it Leslie and oh so true!

Leslie..this is beautiful and definitely touched my heart, today. Blessings and prayers, andrea
How quickly the days fly by! I have a granddaughter that is almost 7! I realize just how swift life is.
Great poem!
Leslie,
What a beautiful poem about just how fast all that time goes. Children are just that much cuter when you catch them in dreamland. Just at such peace.

All too soon..........yes, Kelly is right, the tearing up is in my eyes as well...my 'little boy' will be 17 in a couple of months and he is a senior in high school..Too fast, too fast..
Loved this Leslie!
