Sleeping Angel

Beautiful sleeping angel,
While in sleep do you dream,
Are you cradled by angels,
Wrapped in their downy soft wings.

Do you hear sweet lullabies,
Softly sung by the doves,
Do they tell you precious baby,
How much you are truly loved?

Tiny bundle of joy at peace,
Bottle lying by your side,
You lift our spirits e'er so high,
In you we find tremendous pride.

God gave us the most wonderful gift,
A sparkling bright eyed little girl,
You have filled our hearts with love,
A completion to our happy world.

Prettily all dressed in pink,
Bow and ribbon in your hair,
Holding your rattle even in sleep,
A perfect answer to our prayer.

Little rosebud mouth and button nose,
Tiny little hands and pudgy feet,
Beautiful creation of the Lord,
You are indeed a Heavenly treat.

We love to stand by your bed,
Watching as you gently sleep,
Say a prayer to the Father above,
Promising always His Will to keep.

Sleep on pretty little angel,
Rest and dream until daylight,
We wait for your awakening,
You fill our hearts with delight.

Thank You precious Jesus for,
This baby so wonderful and sweet,
We praise You each day Lord,
You made our life so complete.
