let's hurry to bed

I put a plate of cookies
out on the table,
a nice assortment,
freshly baked.
a cold glass of milk,
before turning in.
I check the chimney to make
sure it's clean and ready.
the fire out.
I look out the window
with my son,
and stare up into
the sky. it won't be long,
I tell him, soon, soon.
let's hurry to bed.
scoot, scoot,
i'll be up shortly, now
say your prayers and tomorrow
will be here,
in a very short time.
