Rainy Midnights
Oft on rainy midnights
I wish that I could sleep
Though you keep my eyes wide open
There’s no point in counting sheep
But the creaking of the rocking chair
Your nightlight’s soft white glow
Has become a welcome ritual
I’ve grown grateful to know
Your fuzzy head against my arm
Your fingers around mine
Those rosy cheeks reminding me
You truly are divine
Your tiny eyes close once more
I treasure every blink
Knowing if you went away
I’d be pushed to the brink
You fill my life with sunshine
I can’t fathom dark and cold
The despair would be the end of me
Without your hand to hold
So I watch on rainy midnights
The perfection that you are
Though my eyes grow weak and heavy
You shine through them like a star
I pray that you’ll live forever
Although I know that can’t be true
But I’d stay up for a thousand midnights
For each second spent with you
-for my baby B, I love you endlessly 🐝❤️
