Sleeping Angel

This poem is dedicated to three people. First and foremost, my 10 year old real little sister, Shriya, my 11 month old cousin sister Kirstin and another cousin of mine, who is my age, called Tamanna.

Eyelids drooping

Drifting away

Into her dreamland

Like everyday

 

She dreams of fairies 

And witches all night

Of good and evil

And their eternal fight

 

She is only an infant,

Frail and weak

Not knowing how to walk

Not knowing how to speak 

 

But she still amazes me

With that beautiful smile

And frees me of my worries

At least for a while

 

And when I look at her

A voice in my ear whispers

God has sent you an angel

In the form of a sister
