As night Time falls

As night falls fast
And the days close in
The light turns to glimmer switched lights
Of houses lit, warm and people crammed within

The traffic passes we hear the noise
The childrens laughter
The boustress boys
Having a laugh with their friends and a chat

Cold hands are covered by warm gloves
Head is kept heated by a wolly hat
the cold is too much
even for the the local cat

We shelter from the wind and rain
We warm ourselves
and look out at the snow flakes fall
No children playing no noise of the ball

Now that the ground is covered in snow
We will watch on looking at our children play, progress and grow
the glistening of the sparkle shines
the happiness of our hearts and minds
