I liked that . Imagine snowing outside and sitting next to the fireplace. Everything is so quite and the only light comes from the fireplace. Outside is snowing slowly. You poem reminded me that atmosphere.

Thanks for sharing

Nice!

My wife and I have 4 kids ranging from 9 to 15 so I can certainly understand this one. Love the flow and find that time and peace for fyourself. Michael

Nice write. This is so true. We all need time for ourselves.

Sooo true. Nice work. Thanks for bookmarking my poem, Paula.

Very true, you want peace and quiet and I yearn for a full house again, how ironic!

Peaceful, quiet time is important for everyone.

Blessings.

This is a very beautiful expression! Peace, a commodity that we all seek in times of chaos; whatever the degree of chaos.

Hey Paula,

This is a good poem. I can\’t relate to it myself as I don\’t have kids but as a writer myself I really like it.

Maybe if you have time you can check some of my stuff out.

A little quiet time can make all the difference.

Beautiful! I remember that feeling… but, now, as an empty nester sometimes I long for all the noise and bustle! Even so, it seems I always do my best creative work when I alone with time for myself.
