A Peaceful Evening

It's oh, so peaceful.
Little boys eyes closed in their beds.
Mommy under a fleece throw 

stringing popcorn for the tree.
Daddy studying diligently

for a final exam in the morning. 

 All is quiet,

tree lights twinkle,

candles burn,

music softly celebrates Christ's birth.

A peaceful evening 

in the midst of whirling December.
