sleep pretty darling

Unseen and yet so painful. Tiny little teeth pushing their way through. Fussing, drooling, crying, gumming, sucking....anything but sleeping.

"Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby"

I'm glad she needed me today; I needed her too.
