Every night at sundown,
We sit down to read
A bedtime story
I kneel by your little bed
 
Sometimes you choose
And others I do
Either way,
You fall asleep on your pillows
 
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
Child of mine
Love of my life
 
Those are the times
We have to spend together
I work too much
For too little pay
 
My love flies to you
Each night on angel's wings
As you dream,
I count out the last few dollars we have
 
You will grow to be strong
I will work hard to buy you
Those things you want
Even if it means only you eat
 
Love doesn’t cost a thing
Love is free to give and take
Other things in life are different
I'm thankful that I have you
 
For if I was alone,
Why would I want to live?
To love?
To work for my life?
 
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
Child of mine
Love of my life

A very nice heartfelt poem. Its very truthful to the many parents that sacrifice all their energy just so their kids can have dinner.
You mentioned you listened to the dixie chicks song while writing. It a good creative stimulus, and creates a strange emotion. I use it too, its creates the rhythm for me.

Thanks. I'm so glad you liked it. As one of my older charicters says... "Love is freely given, and not to be wasted." Love is impossible to keep to yourself. I hope with all my heart that you love others.

Thanks for your kind comment!

Love is powerful than anything. It can melt the hardest heart, and can mend the worst pain. Beautifully written:)
