and there she lies

go to bed my sweetheart
close your pretty eyes
angels are above you
peeping at you daily from the skies
the moon above is shining
stars begin to creep
it's time for little picc-a-ninnies
like you
to go
to sleep...

I've often wanted to post a photo of her sleeping in her cot but have always been too hesitant to do it for fear of waking her up but tonight it dawned on me that if I don't do it soon it will be yet another thing long gone.
