#TSM #202

A mother fixes supper

Her little girl plays happily

By the firelight

Happy gay and bright

Supper is ready

They eat heartily

Two generations

Mother and daughter

They look like each other

Once supper is done

Mom gets her little girl

Ready for sleep

She tucks her in

Reads her a bedtime story

Then its good night kisses

And a hug

And an I love you

As they high five

See you in the morning pet

Mom says

Its lights out now

Time to sleep

She tiptoes from her little girls bedroom

Goes downstairs

Makes herself a brew

And before long

She too

Is fast asleep
