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

A beautiful and hopeful poem. Your words are true. Babies are small Angels to give us hope and purpose. A very good ending to a outstanding poem.

This sweet and gentle like a lullaby. It made me sigh a bit. I'm an only child. Never had a sister.
A touching poem.

This is just beautiful. I loved the sweet emotions toward your sister, the way you mentioned it was adorable, and I so enjoyed reading. Infants are an epitome of beauty, they never cease to amaze by their innocence, and angelic sweetness. Loved it.
