The Sleep

As I sit here 

Watching you sleep 

So Peaceful

And so sound

I see you as a child

Innocent and sweet

Dreaming of

Faraway lands

I want to touch you

To kiss you

But I fear

You'll wake

Spoiling the 

Wondrous thoughts

In you sleep 

I smile to myself

Wishing I were asleep

Dreaming with you

In the peaceful deep
