    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.
