TV Time

In an old black and white photo, I found

There’s a room of children not making a sound

Little girls in little chairs

A sweet little row of curly hair

Big brother Darrell and sister Star

In the background not too far

Patiently waiting for daddy to come home

To turn on the television in the corner of the room

I Don’t know what we were getting ready to watch

But no other activity that night could match

Children sitting quietly but anxiously

For Daddy to get in his chair and turn on the TV

Sitting here looking at the photo of that day

It’s a precious memory, of our family ways
