Welcome to Cozy Poetry Corner by Debra A Winter (Richter)

“Evening Rituals”

When the sky turns dark and the stars come out,

It’s time for children to put pj’s on and stop the shout.

A peaceful time for Mom and dad to finally unwind,

A moment of rest from a long, hard day left behind.

~

Children, please – it’s bedtime now, it’s time to sleep,

Mom and Dad want quiet time, not a single peep.

Evenings come every night, some quiet, some loud,

It all depends on the love within its household’s crowd.

~

Remember the Waltons – a family of many,

Living in a small house with hardly a penny.

They were a loving family; they share what they had,

When tempers flared at times, the anger was never bad.
