Keeping Watch.
While night's eyes cast dark glances
And silence thickens to deep,
As stars hold daylight up for ransom
I keep watch while you are asleep.
While intentions lie in dreamland
And tomorrow takes its repose,
As in a blink of an eye hours tick by
I keep mine open while yours close.
While yesterday cools its fervour,
And fortune's wheel turns one notch,
As night's short time dwindles away
Until I wake you, I keep watch

Good write Fay.
A poem filled with tenderness
Beautiful caring write Fay.
They bring such joy, the little ones and this is full of tenderness.
THANKS FAY : Lovely picture & lovely Poem. Your Poem & Meghan's bump has made me broody but Im only just 30 so Brian & I have time to start a Family. The Wedding is set for Easter 2020.

My Dear Fay,
Your sweet poem and pic have taken me back a few decades! I miss those days when my children were little and needed my undivided attention...especially when they were not feeling well!
Thank you for sharing your your gift as a poetess!
