Safe And Sound

Now is that moment in the evening

When we can finally rest our heads

For everyone dear to us is at home

Tucked up safely in their beds;

The headlong whirl of the day is over

And sounds have settled to a hush

The pace has slowed almost to a halt

Disappeared the frantic rush;

The monsters and dragons have slunk away

Back to their deep, dark caves

They heave their lonely sigh of defeat

And leave us the peace we crave;

Whatever tomorrow might bring us

Whatever might come around

This moment belongs to us

With everyone safe and sound.
