BrokenEchoes

  The rest of the world went to sleep an hour ago We watched it turn in from our porch swing We share the cloudless night  With a soft buzz of frogs and crickets I like it when the world gets quiet And we can steal a still moment together I like it when the night is newly set And we can watch the lightning bugs for a bit I like it when the air has just a touch of chill And you snuggle a little closer on the porch swing

  Waking slowly in the morning A soft rain in the Kentucky hills Coffee on the porch And bare feet in the grass Napping in the afternoon Soup beans on the stove Cornbread in the oven Then dinner at the table Dishes in the drainer Reading in my favorite chair Cat purring on the couch Relaxing for the weekend.
