Downtime
A family night
nothing overly special
spagetti and a movie
but everyone together
lots of joking and kidding
and messing around
some popcorn and pop
and theather surround sound
wholesome fun
a family, not one
our fortress in the wilderness
made for four, sometimes a mess
but our island
pets are here
kids are too
share the couch
and blanket too
spending time
not marking pace
sharing our thoughts
a step out of the the rat race
slower time
sit and unwind
contemplate the day
relax and play
be yourself
put work on the shelf
and enjoy the fruits of your labor
A family
nothing overly special
spagetti and a movie
but everyone together
lots of joking and kidding
and messing around
some popcorn and pop
and theather surround sound
wholesome fun
a family, not one
our fortress in the wilderness
made for four, sometimes a mess
but our island
pets are here
kids are too
share the couch
and blanket too
spending time
not marking pace
sharing our thoughts
a step out of the the rat race
slower time
sit and unwind
contemplate the day
relax and play
be yourself
put work on the shelf
and enjoy the fruits of your labor
A family
