As I Watch You Sleep

I found this beautiful poem on one of my blogger friend's posting. My blogger friend has 3 girls and a boy who has down syndrome so I like to regularly go on her blog since our situation is similar. Her son William is 4 years old so I like to see what he is up to. He just seems to be the sweetest and kindest child..and calm. I may need to borrow him to calm wild man Tyson down. Tyson has approached the terrible 2's

As I Watch You Sleeping By:
Sheryl Trowbridge
As I watch you sleeping,
my problems seem so small.
The rewards you have to offer me,
are so big and so tall.
As I watch you sleeping,
I realize just how great your accomplishments are.
I know how much you struggle
to have made it this far.
As I watch you sleeping,
I can't imagine how my life would be without you.
Even through the hard times
I'd be lost without you.
As I watch you sleeping,
I see just how much you have brought into my life.
All the joys and happiness,
all the wonder and excitement.
As I watch you sleeping,
I am overcome with such love.
Your sweetness and happiness,
are something I can't get enough of.
As I watch you sleeping,
I think just how lucky I am.
To be the mother of such
a beautiful little boy.
As I watch you sleeping,
all of my worries seem to melt away.
I know that no matter what happens,
together we can make it through another day
