Sweet Bedtime Games

Title: Sweet Bedtime Games

In the realm of dreams, where laughter takes flight,
My husband entranced by our daughter’s delight,
He falls prey to her whims, her playful allure,
While I am left with exhaustion that’s hard to endure.

At bedtime’s approach, the games begin to unfold,
Tickles and giggles, their laughter bold,
He twirls her around, a dance in their own little space,
While my weary eyes beg for a moment’s embrace.

She tugs at his heartstrings, with stories and sighs,
He’s wrapped around her finger, taken by surprise,
But as the hour grows late, precious sleep in demand,
The burden falls upon me, as the hourglass fills with sand.

A princess he sees, in her nighttime attire,
Caught in her web of desires so dire,
My husband’s heart softened by her whimsical plea,
While the weight of her antics, falls solely on me.

Yet, I find solace in the love that they share,
In the twilight hours, a bond so rare,
For though the strain of sleeplessness ensues,
Their laughter sings a melody, chasing away the blues.
