Innocent Sleep

by Wishes (Judy)

In the misty light of morning,
I watch you sleep.
How deep your slumber, how sweet,
How like a good child's
Who, unaware of evil,
Dreams only of the play
Of yesterday and of the day to come.
I've looked on lovers' faces thus,
But they could never move me
As you do.

Is this because of how I've changed?
Or because of you?
Oh, friend of mine,
Your face reflecting innocence,
And dreams of only peace,
Sleep on a little longer,
As I watch
In the misty light of morning.
