Tick-Tock Tick-Tock

Says the clock

As time races on

The children enjoy

The daily sun

Until dreamland

Calls them beyond...

A gentle kiss

A soft hug

From Mom and Dad

And dream time is about to begin

In the meantime

The guardian Angels

Spread their wings

And from Heaven

They descend...

They fluff the pillows

And warm the sheets

To prepare the children

For a good night sleep...

The children began 

To climb in bed

Until Mom and Dad

Remind them

"The Lord's prayer

Must be said"...

Mom and Dad begin to pray

And the children follow along

And at the end of the prayer

The children say,

"God bless our family

and our home"...

Warmth within the covers

The children find

And the lights go out

To begin their dream time...

The angels hover above

And wait patiently

As they lull the children in 

With a soothing melody

And escort them

Through their dream time fantasy...

The children wake

With the morning sun

Refreshed and full of energy

With happy dream time stories

To share with the whole family.

I like the use of time in the poem. Time with parent leave permanent good memories to hold on to. I enjoyed the complete poem.
"The angels hover above

Great piece....sad that family doesn't seen to ne of value these days...it seems that everyone is too busy with other priorities....

[Tarry Franck]

I totally agree!

[Ohhhwillow]

One of the first positive heartwarming pieces I've read here, family is often what keeps us going during times of hardship. Is this an experience you've dreampt of? Or one you have had? I feel as though a personal mark on this poem would be nice just to take it to that next level!
