Gradually rocking, drifting, swaying <br />Your whole life viewed, through a sliver <br />Soft ocean waves gently tucking in <br />Cherished is, this final glimmer <br />And, shimmer of ocean spray <br />Through mists on sands unwind <br />Rest now in the low lights halo <br />Eyelids, on a slow decline <br />May your hopes and dreams run wild <br />Good night my beautiful son <br />Sleep tight my earthly child <br />Sleep now your day is done<br /><br />Marcus McKinley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sea-of-dreams-a-bedtime-poem/
