DOTING

When the night shades your weary eyes
And your soul lays down to dream
I'll weave a blanket of moonbeams,
Studded with a galaxy of stars
To ease you into a world of gentle peace
And while the fairies of the darkened skies
Knead your lips into contented smiles
I'll slip a poem beneath your pillow
To read
And settle down beside your rumpled sheets
To watch dawn play with your drowsy face
In a promise of warmth and blissful days
Tenderly rousing you from sleep
