Your own beat

poem by: K Alexander
Written on Aug 16, 2016

The sun set and the house went quite
Bed by 8 teeth brushed and pyjamas on
Homework left to be marked
Parents hugged and children gone

Its two in the morning
alarm for work set for well before noon 
Television turned off
Work tomorrow better sleep soon

Its nine at night 
Child is bathed kissed and tucked into bed
School run in the morning
Mummys sleeping like the dead 

The first is the view of a child
The second of a teenager
The last of an adult 

One life set to such a varied tone
Each verse is different
May you enjoy the song
Even if your dancing to a different beat
