It doesn't matter how much we love our kids, Debs, we all need a rest from the lovely little blighters, I MEAN, 'angels', at times. :-)

Lovingly and wittily put.

Best wishes, Ted

Hi Ted :) Thank you for your lovely review :) 10 minutes and the 1st of 3 of my 'angels' goes up to bed. Within the hour, they'll all be up there! Debs x

This five-seven-five does a lot to explain why I love my kids more after ten p.m. than I do in the morning and early afternoon.

Oh, how true it is with sleeping children, especially that first night the new arrival sleeps through. Love the poem. It aptly describes one of the great times of parenthood.

Long days as a parent, but we wouldn't trade it for anything. You express the challenges and blessings in your 5-7-5 that ever parent identifies with.

LOL. . .

sleeping, like angels
they steal our hearts -
but when they awaken
the mayhem starts!

Cute write (and I suspect mirrors the mind
of many a (temporarily) frustrated parent ;-D

Awe, to be able to smile when they are asleep, how loving is that.

It is a good thing to be able to smile, because you know your job for the DAY is done. Until tomorrow :}

Excellent job, well written poem. Good luck in the contest.

A good entry for the 5-7-5 contest. all syllables correct.
it is so true that they are little angles while asleep, and everything is forgiven.

Well done. Mary
