Descend upon the day
Running, chasing, squealing, tumbling
Dishes go unwashed, wrestling piles prevail
A decade of fun
Packed in four years of life
Three faces flash tiny-tooth grins
Their half dozen eyes reflect adoration
Popcorn in my pockets
Sticky patches on walls and tables
Cleaning begins but the trio persists
Mommy must play too
Lunch helps bring exhaustion
And the boys succumb to naps
Allowing brief To Do attention
Then precious moments with God and tea
My warriors soon return, renewed
Eager for fresh adventures
Some lie within pages of a book
Others land with paint on paper
Endless questions, questionable actions
Imaginations are well watered
Seeds of love deeply planted
Training children in the way they should go
The littles soon tire of inside spaces
Daddy’s ready with backyard games
Waves of laughter heard hour after hour
Yet each time, still as sweet
Night rises, bringing closure to the day
Slow blinks and yawns begin at dinner
The warriors need to rejuvenate
Quiet falls …God’s joy rests here
