Sleepy Baby

I tried and tried to stay awake
to have my picture taken.
But I was so very tired that
I couldn’t be awakened.
This whole day was so exciting,
I guess it was too much for me.
So I shut my eyes to take a rest,
and slept too sound, you see.
Yet I hope that my photo
will bring everyone great pleasure,
And as years pass by, and I grow up,
my photo you’ll always treasure.
