I look at you….

Every night before I go to sleep I come to whisper sweet dreams. Its a ritual, you are all the last thing I see before sleep consumes me and the first thing I look at before daylight even has a chance to nudge me awake.

I stroke your hair, cover your toes, lay kisses laden with love on your three, smooth, innocent cheeks. The quarrels of the day are quickly forgotten and all that remains is the warm glow that heats my soul as I softly whisper ‘goodnight’.

The silence of night time lies gently in our home, I can watch you slumber, stare wide eyed in wonder at the knowledge that all of you three beautiful creatures came from inside me. I wanted you, I grew you, and I have loved you all to the moon and back again.

I look at you, and I ache with an all consuming sense of adoration.

Sleep tight my dreaming babies, mummy loves you very much.

    And as they grow, the love grows with you. My older two are 21 and 19, and my youngest 11, and each day that love still grows. They will always be my babies.

    Beautifully put – It’s universal I think and I still feel the same when I see my 19 year old sleeping. Once I avert my eyes from the state of her room anyway x

    You should write that out in ink for them to have as a keepsake. I sometimes worry that I love my children more when they’re asleep because you’re right, the days tempests evaporate (and they can’t answer back).
