If she sleeps,
Then, I am at peace.
If she is at peace,
Then, I may sleep.
My day depends on her,
The movement of her life,
The thought of her smile,
The dream of her laughter.
She has power,
She needs not wield.
I have power,
Because I yield,
To the power which,
Has taken me,
And given life,
To my life.
I will live at peace,
While she sleeps.
I will sleep in peace,
With her dreams.
