Sunday Sonnets—I Was Happy Then
I offer again, Sunday Sonnets with little intro or background inspiration this morning for my children are in dire need of an arbitrator, a peace keeper.
What they really need is to have their little whiny, arguing hides tanned and I need some coffee!
I Was Happy Then
I was happy then, smiling .
Hugs and kisses were exchanged
And laughter filled the air.
Serenity, though but a dream.
Thuds and screaming. Doors slammed.
“I want it!” “No I want it!”
Battle lines drawn. Warriors engaged.
Chaos. Calamity–this is real!
Why do we have to fight
And argue over every little thing?
There’s at least a thousand toys
And you all want the same one?
Just let me go back to sleep….
I was happy then.
