I watch'd thee while you lay sleeping <br />In peaceful slumber did'st thou lay <br />As the moon shines thru your window <br />Brightly casting luminious shadows along the way <br />The moon's pale light rest upon thy face <br />It shimmer'd like an evning star and <br />Whilst gazing upon this illumination <br />I am reminded just how lovely you truly are <br />A kiss to thy lips I'll give to thee <br />Then softly whisper in your ear <br />Words my mind has just created <br />On why I hold your love for me so dear <br />So sleep my pretty princess <br />Till the sun it starts to rise <br />Then together we will celebrate the love <br />We feel for each other in our lives<br /><br />John A.
