(23) "Shorter Days"



(23)
“Shorter Days”
cji
11/25/16
The nights were longer
seemingly working harder
having much the same to do
whether cold, warm or dark
candles were a hazard inside
but our only light to be had
so evening meal quickly ate
mother to read from Bible
then quicker to beds warm
boys in one – girls in another
mom and dad their own
sometimes if guests their
boys on the dirt floors!
