The Music Box

Trying to nap I was laying

Down upon the couch.

My music box was playing

A melody so sweet.

Asleep and snoring gently

My kitty at my feet.

Black and white he is

A tuxedo cat so neat.

On the recliner chair was my spouse.

I think he's so sweet, so handsome!

Not wishing to awaken him,

I was quiet as a mouse.

I  tiptoed in behind him,

And touched him on t he arm.

Jumping up so suddenly

He feared he was in harm.

"Now our dinner guests 

Are coming soon

So wake up Donald dear".

We laughed together as he

Realized there was nothing more to  fear.

We had a lovely party with many of our friends.

They danced, they sang, told jokes, and laughed

Till someone was in tears.

We've had many happy parties

With family, friends so dear.

As passing time takes them away

We wish that they were near. 

Forward looking to the time

When all of us can be

Together with our Father

In that land so heavenly!
