You toss and turn , snuggle deep
My eyes lock on , you pretend to sleep
You find comfort , the perfect place
My mind is at peace, when I see your face
You open your eyes , I am here
My heart is proud , you want me near
You doze in and out , I could cry
My pride for you , I can’t deny
You look up , you investigate for a while
Then as you drift , I see a smile
That smile is a gift , before you rest
My love for you , I give my best
You drift to sleep, you breathe so still
My mind tries guilt , against my will
You are my baby , you grow so fast
My joy for you , will always last
Now mommy’s turn , I am in and out
My heart so full, I could shout
I close my eyes , lay down my head
Guilt is gone , I give grace instead
I keep real still, so you will not wake
I love being mommy , I also love a little break
Then as I drift off , as still as can be
I hear a whisper ,beloved , will you smile at me?
