For Baby Akshitha, aka 'Shilty The Dilty'

Sleep well my love, 

Thy tender cheek on my shoulder,

Tiny paw across my neck,

I hold you like the blessing of a thousand lives,

My cherub of Heaven,

I sing to you a lullaby for God,

With a voice that fails before and after,

I protect you with the strength of the universe,

Sleep well my love.

This night is aeons long,-

To gasp at the lustrous wonder of your eyes

Caress your exquisite perfection

Revel in your mellifluous notes,

Swoon at your every step,

Sleep well my love,-

I pine for tomorrow.
