Sleepy Haikus for My Baby Girl

Haiku Friday"Mama, I can't sleep.
Can you breathe me to sleep, please?"
"Ok, close your eyes..."

"Breathe in sleep, out cares.
Breathe in soft starlight, out sun.
Float on breath to dreams."

"Each breath is a gift,
a wave lapping slumber's shore,
gently lulling you."

Dark lashes lie still,
small hands unfold like petals,
and sleep takes you.

    What a beautiful image! Stumbled on your blog through Haiku Friday and already admire your honesty. Looking forward to reading more, MPJ.
