Poems and Ponderings

Tucking In


Every night before I go to sleep
I go upstairs and laughing creep
Bending over snuggly beds
To kiss three sisters’ baby heads.

The first is Lou with eyes aglow
Who laughs and wiggles sweet and slow
And loudly exclaims, “a’ din, a’ din,”
“I tiss you, Adie, more a’ din!"

Then comes Bella; black eye’s mild.
A most contented, happy child
Who hugs my head and leans up to say,
“Adie, Adie, please don’t go away.”

Lizzie’s face is red with lyrics;
“Maddie it’s too dawk!” Has hysterics.
Then puts her teary, chubby cheeks down
Whispers, “I don’t like my gown.”
