As She Lays There Poem by Tera Erickson

As she lays there sleeping,
her face so angelic.
I lay down beside her
brushing her hair from her face
to kiss her goodnight.
As she lays there sleeping,
I look at her w/ amazement.
I watch her sleeping w/ wonder,
How could I be so blessed?
As she lays there sleeping,
her hands so soft and pure.
Her eyes shine like the stars,
in the nights sky.
As she lays there sleeping,
My hearts begins to cry,
For my darling angel,
is growing so fast.
As she lays there sleeping,
I pray to the LORD above,
that all her dreams come true.
As she lays there sleeping,
I pray her joy and her smile,
Never fades away!
As she lays there sleeping,
I hold on to her so tight,
For the morning light,
is soon to come.
As she lays there sleeping,
I think of all the joy she brings,
into this world and into my heart.
Sleep well my darling angel!
