Fast Asleep

By Sara Groves

when the night comes • polar bear cubs sleep in
their caves • calves on the farm sleep in the barn
• warm in the hay • nothing in this world is quite
as sweet • as a tiny baby fast asleep • i could
watch you to the end of time • especially when
that baby is mine • kittens and pups eyes all
closed up • snuggle near mom • robin's and wren's
chicks have been fed • sleep until dawn • nothing
in this world is quite as sweet • as a tiny baby
fast asleep • i could watch you to the end of time
• especially when that baby is mine
