Between the dark and the daylight
When the night is beginning to lower
comes a pause in the day’s occupations
that is known as the Children’s Hour
–
Dad is out of town,
Mom is talking on the phone,
Anna and Amanda playing horse back ride in the living room
When they suddenly hear a “boom”.
–
There is a bark outside the door,
While Anna pick up her book from the floor,
“Who can that be?”
Anna and Amanda hold hands to flee.
–
The day is dark outside,
Shivers make the girls’ heart beat like a drum,
It is unsafe when kids are unattended,
Glad to see them going upstairs to be with their Mom.
