Your Sweet Sleeping Face Poem by Louise Tredoux

Watching your sweet sleeping face,
so peaceful and happy in repose, you
had conquered uncertainty long ago, now
offer me the anchor and safety I always
lacked before, forgive me if I cry in
gratitude to have you here with me

To watch you sleeping deeply, knowing
that you share your whole life with me,
investing your faith in me, trusting me with
your happiness, forgive me for kneeling in
humble abjection, praying to whatever
representative of Loving Universal

Consciousness to make me worthy of your
trust, to enable me to make you happy, to have
enough insight and wisdom to make the right
choices when life happens to us, to bring about
the greatest good for both of us, all I can see is
sharing life with you brings you joy

And makes me deliriously happy, I accept this as
a sign that I should continue to be there for you,
sleep well, my beloved, the angels and I
are guarding your sweet slumbers...
