Peace and Awe

I should probably go and let you sleepBut I open my eyes and I feel at peaceYour weightless breath moving your tiny chestIn a rhythm so steady and sweet.I can’t freeze this night or your peaceful glowBut between all the missteps I hope you knowI’ll try to do better with each blessed dayAnd with this, together we’ll grow.May Grace be the force that drives me to steerAnd courage be not the absence of fearFor your light is a gift that this world needs to feelSo I promise not to hold it too near.Perfection is not a goal to be metAnd decisions are not to be made to regretFor every step forward no matter how smallIs a catch in your butterfly net.So keep dreaming and growing in all that you doWhatever your vision my you see it throughI’ll never forsake, asleep or awakeIn awe of the all awesome you.
