Baby in the Crib


He lays there

alone in his crib

His eyes flutter shut

And he sleeps

 

Alone in his crib

with a blanket over his feet

And he sleeps

dreaming of the future

 

With a blanket over his feet

he lays there,

dreaming of the future

and of Mommy.

 

He lays there,

waiting and thinking of food

and of Mommy

For snuggles

 

For snuggles

He lays there

alone, but for the mobile

His eyes flutter shut.
