I watch them,
Snuggled in their beds
As sweet slumber
Spins a web
Of dreams
And I realize
Just what they mean
To me
They are the heaven
The earth, the sun
And the moon
The oceans, the wind,
And the first day of June
They are snowflakes that fall
On that first wintry day
They are wonderful beings
So happy at play
They are laughter and love
From the heavens above
And I love them
Oh how I love them...
More than life itself.
Dee Daffodil
