Tee and Spirit
Racing to the slide
Shoes in the sandbox
Laughing side by side
Swings going higher
Hair in the air
Mom calls from the sidewalk
“Dinner’s ready
There”
From the playground
To the table
Talking ’bout their day between each bite
Tiny yawns now
Feeling grateful
They turn the lights up
Chase away the night
Under covers
Cuddle up
Close their eyes and drift
They gooo toooo sleeeep
On a soft
Slow
Floating ship
Plates all empty
Milk mustache smile
Story on the couch
Just one more page
A while
Night light glowing
Room feels deep
Mom tucks them in
Says
“Time for sleep”
From the playground
To the table
Talking ’bout their day between each bite
Tiny yawns now
Feeling grateful
They turn the lights up
Chase away the night
Under covers
Cuddle up
Close their eyes and drift
They gooo toooo sleeeep
On a soft
Slow
Floating ship
