TV’s on br Sound is down br Aftermath br Of another day surrounds us br Scattered toys litter the house br And the debris of family life br Decorates every surface br The boy sleeps br Amongst teddy bears and dreams br The girl retired for the night br Locked away behind closed door br With diary and mobile phone br br On the couch we sit br Side by side br He with his guitar br Bare chested and looking good br Strums gently br While I br Never without pen br Scribble away br In my note book br br On my shoulder rests br One white ball of fluff br The other ball br Flopped out on my lap br Peace and quiet br Harmony br Soothes and relaxes br Us.
