Softly as you lie sleeping, I ran
my finger accross your tiny face
and traced it down to your chin
So peacefull you lie, with your
tiny little body all bundled for
your bedtime in your room with
Winnie standing guard at your door
In the middle of the night you will
awaken with all your raging lungs
sceaming with hunger, then silently
you rested upon the breast of nature
and fullfilled your tummy once again
Softly the lullaby of dreamland once
again takes you to slumberland, and
with your tiny finger wrapped around
my finger, I gently kiss you with a soft
tear of love in my heart......
Written for Tommaso at his birth.......
