   I had the music “Magic Dance” from the movie Labyrinth in my head during the back & forth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViftZTfRSt8

   “The Mother Watch” by Edgar Guest

   She never closed her eyes in sleep ’til we were all in bed.

   On party nights, ’til we came home, she often sat and read.

   We little thought about it then, when we were out at play,

   How much our mother worried when we children were away.

   We only knew she never slept when we were out at night,

   And that she waited, just to know that we’d come home all right.

   Why, sometimes, when we’d stay away till one, or two, or three,

   It seemed to us that Mother heard the turning of the key.

   For always, when we stepped inside, she’d call, and we’d reply,

   But we were all too young back then to understand just why.

   Until the last one had returned, she always kept a light,

   For Mother couldn’t sleep until she kissed us all good night.

   She had to know that we were safe before she went to rest.

   She seemed to fear the world might harm the ones she loved the best.

   And once she said, “When you are grown to women and to men,

   Perhaps I’ll sleep all through the night; I might get some sleep then.”

   And so it seemed that night and day we knew a mother’s care

   But always, when we got back home, we’d find her waiting there.

   Then came the night that we were called to gather round her bed

   “The children are all with you now,” the kindly doctor said.

   And in her eyes there gleamed again the old-time tender light

   That told she had been waiting just to know we were all right.

   She smiled the old familiar smile, and prayed to God to keep us safe

   From harm all through the night, and then she went to sleep.

   It is supposed to be in poetry form, but the formatting keeps being removed. Does anyone know how to remedy this? That is why there are random capital letters.

   This is long and sappy, but I had my girls listen to it when they were teens (it was a song on a Reno & Smiley album). My oldest wound up in tears & neither ever questioned their curfew again.

   This would be awesome! Intelligent, kind, personable and beautiful-plus her marriage is actually one of love and respect. No $130,000 payments to porn stars. Plus I guarantee Barack actually change his daughters diapers-unlike douche Trump who bragged after the 4th kid to have never changed a diaper.

   We have Canada Geese here in NC that came in the 60s and NEVER left! They are brats, but I love them. They walk across the street and just glare you down. The local paper did a story about the ones the actually do migrate. The ones that decided to stay here weigh on average 10 pounds more than the ones who actually migrate. Even geese are fatter in the US! lol

    I seriously thought this was a picture of James Spader. I was wondering how they got Red to do it! Congrats on the tournament. It looks like you were having fun.
