Drowsy, nearly drifting into sleep
I glanced up, only to see
A bright light shining toward me
I squinted my eyes, taking a closer look
A golden star hovered there,
It's bronze glow casting over me
I smiled softly, assured I could slip
Into a deep, restful sleep
With my celestial guardian
Watching over me
For hours and hours,
The star remained,
Shining its gentle light
It kept me safe
Throughout the long, dark night
