Summer Slumber
A quiet buzzing fills my ears.
Scent of wildflowers on the air.
Warmth upon my softened skin.
Rustling leaves above my head.
Cool grass lies beneath me.
The sounds and smells of a sweet Summer's day.
All cast their spell to make a sleepy girl.
Abundant curls spill upon my lap.
Blue eyes closed in gentle nap.
Not a single sound can wake you up.
Quietly the day passes you by.
But you care not a wit.
For you are a child free of cares.
A softened smile plays across my lips.
A heart bursting forth with love for my sweet angel.
For I know nothing can compare to you.
Not even a sweet Summer's day.
So lay still sweet babe and rest your sleepy head.
Enjoy being a child while you may.
For days flow by like water through space and time.
Making today into the past till you are grown at last.
So rest sweet child of mine and be innocent while you can.
For time is at hand but in this instant is your sweet Summer slumber.
