Sleep Tight Candlelight Poem by Rita Pal

Sleep Tight Candlelight

Rating: 5.0


Sweet darling, when all the days
Have deserted you on earth,
And you fly with the angels of heaven
To dance with sleeping satellites,
Will we see you with firelight sunsets?
Will you play ball with our dreams?
So we may skip with your smile
And clutch your toys for the stars.

Our hearts will drown to reach you
When heaven’s angel dust has blessed you,
You leave us today sweet darling
For all the valleys of time.
On earth our eyes shall seek you
To capture your childlike laughter
That echo for all our tomorrows

Sweet baby remember we love you
Take our love and cloak yourself,
For when you face troubled waters
And all has deserted you
It shall armour you like the knights of valour
Today, tomorrow, forever

So sleep tight candlelight
Until we meet oneday in starlight
