You're barely two ...
wanting control of the spoon,
zip your own boots,
decide on whether or not you will wear a tuque,
or even take a nap.
But when you fought that dreaded sleep
I was gifted with a treasure.
As "Jesus loves me" came out in a hushed and broken tune
I felt my last baby grand relax and fall asleep.
Sweet sleep. Sweet Rest.
Life will have it's challenges,
things you will fight,
but my prayer is that you always rest
in the knowledge of the truth
that calmed you when you were two.
