Time is moving on it is getting quite dark

The children are all coming home from playing in the park

Mother feeds them baths them then puts them to sleep

From now until morning lovely we will not hear a peep

As l settle down now and close the curtains

The end of day falls that’s for certain

The dog is asleep after his long walk

Peace oh peace with no one here to talk

A candle is lit l love to watch it flicker

Do not laugh at me not even a snigger

As l watch the flame dance round full of joy

I know my friends life was not just a ploy.
