Sleep come take her to
hold in your arms like
a passionate love who
will wipe away the tears
of pain and despair to
wrap around her a warm
embrace to quell her
trembling there to frame
her face with her long
dark hair as a portrait
of innocence reposing so
now sleep come take her

Dedicated to all mothers or those who have loved ones they have watched in pain when they are not well and want and hope only that it cease so that a peaceful sleep can overcome.
