Family

I woke last night in the early hours
got up and crossed the room
To the window where the lights of stars
danced brightly round the room
A cold frost draped the ground outside
the hedges and the trees
No winter coat to hide inside
away from the biting breeze.
A long way off a lone dog barked
soon joined by several others
Making sure their ground was marked
from all including brothers.
I gently walked accross the floor
trying hard no-one to wake
and once outside my bedroom door
a deeper breath I'd take
At times like this when all alone
but with family all around
I watch them sleeping one by one
contented safe and sound.
My daughters first, her angels face
hair brushed like golden thread
her skin as smooth as silken lace
her lips a soft pale red.
My son is next, he's grown so much
with eyes so big and brown
His skin is dark still soft to touch
A thinker not a clown.
So back to bed beside my wife
the one I love so dear.
The simple truth she is my life
I need her always near.
Now the cold outside could thunder through
and wrap itself round me,
for I'd be warm and that is true
For I've my family
