Bless the babe born of my womb, <br />Now sleeping in my keeping, <br />Safe and sound in this room <br />My love for him deepening. <br /> <br />Tiny little man with eyes closed <br />I love watching God's Son sleep; <br />In a needed nap now reposed <br />This infant I am blessed to keep. <br /> <br />He has sweet little rosebud lips <br />That frequently seem to smile <br />As from my breast he lazily sips <br />And tenderly I stare awhile. <br /> <br />Precious little One, oh so small <br />I want this moment to last for ever <br />Rest in my arms in peaceful pall ~ <br />May this bond never, ever, sever.<br /><br />Carmela Patterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bless-the-babe/
