As Sure As Sound

So silently she sleeps
swirling around in her small blanky
Barely breathing her body
but boldly breaking the creases in her bed
she coughs her cold and cuddles her ted
that cute cuddly looking creepy in the dark
with its teeth tearing toward the wall
laying there so safely in her arms
her naughty little nappy butt
just floating in the air
they amaze me all her baby habits
just standing there to stare
For hours of our hours are
just seconds in her sleep
so I kiss her cheeks
her body jerks with fright
I love you little baby, kiss and goodnight
first the door, then flat feet on the floor
as sure as sound something squeaks
so I pause my pose and glance a peek back
no sound, no nothing, not even a change
so I get in a warm bed the Mrs fast asleep
The seconds turn to hours then I check
nope still, seconds ticking on the clock
so I lay there in the dark still staring at the clock
running really fast right back to her room
straight out her blanky straight out her bed,
up to my chest back to my room back to my bed,
to fall asleep and wake up with her there
on my chest instead
just laying there to stare
