To A Daughter Sleeping Poem by Susy Evelyne
To A Daughter Sleeping
Like Saddleback
is your young back
Or some other long hill
as you lie still
Peacefully sleeping,
soft daylight sweeping
Down contoured folds
of the blanket that holds
You - dreaming late, unknowing
the new day's busy ebbing and flowing
I shall think of this poem each time my daughters sleep late at the weekend. This is a lovely poem for parents. Well done.

A beautiful poem that I would love to read when I see my granddaughter Anayah sleeping. Loved the fourth and the fifth couplets particularly.
