A Cold Winters Night

A Cold Winters Night

Cold winds howling
into the night
children awaken
filled with fright

Eyes big as sausers
suddenly appear
Mommy wake up
we're really scared

Next to my bed
little voices I hear
can we sleep with you
Please mommy dear

We promise to be good
won't keep you awake
be as quiet as a mouse
eating his cake

Can you read us a story
til we fall asleep
sister and I
dare not make a peep

We can snuggle and snooze
this cold winters night
keep each other warm
until mornings light

Off come the slippers
they hop into bed
a smile on my face
simply nodding my head

~Mary A. Eaton~

Thanks kindly dh, appreciate the read and comments, Mary

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
