Love is a Sleepless Night

Nights of easy slumber are a long ago memory. Worries about those I love cause peaceful night to elude me. Awoken by every cough or movement when he was small, When he was older it was the fear of every late night text or call. Last night excitement kept sleep away, Text messages through the night and day, Now sleepless nights for him will be norm, For today his baby daughter was born. -HCB
