Alexandra

Little fingers, 

little toes, 

if you’re sleeping, 

no one knows.

I walk up, 

and see you are, 

cuddled up,

you’re very far

away in your dreams. 

Your arm around that 

teddy bear,

I stand and watch

you sleeping there,

your cheerful eyes are out 

of sight,

your lips in a peaceful smile.

You were so tired

that your head,

fell straight onto the bed,

Your face in many pillows,

resting,

and I say,

sleep well today,

and after you’ll go out to play
