Fast Asleep

when the night comes
polar bear cubs sleep in
their caves
calves on the farm sleep in the barn
warm in the hay
nothing in this world is quite
as sweet
as a tiny baby fast asleep
i could
watch you to the end of time
especially when
that baby is mine
kittens and pups eyes all
closed up
snuggle near mom
robin's and wren's
chicks have been fed
sleep until dawn
nothing
in this world is quite as sweet
as a tiny baby
fast asleep
i could watch you to the end of time
especially when that baby is mine
