Midnight is Mine

Midnight is Mine

A Poem by layla
"

summer time and the kids are home

"

Light from the sun, and the chirps of the birds

Together make music; your thoughts are your words

The shade of your roof, cools the air in your house

When the clock hits noon, you’ll sweat through your blouse

 

Quickly you realize, when the kids start to yell

That summer is here, you figure oh well

Pack the kids up, and off to the beach

The fighting begins, and you start to preach

 

Andy stop crying and Michael I swear

Hit him a gain, and those shorts you will wear

But mom it’s not fair, he hit me first

I yearn for September, school quenches my thirst

 

The boys all jump in, and the dog wants to play

Last month was so quite, how I miss May

The best for me, moonlight is the time

The kids can have day, midnight is all mine

 

The sun starts to fall, the horizon gets dark

Tell the kid to get out, and the dog not to bark

When they comply, my times almost here

To sit on my porch, midnight and cold beer
