When all Goes Quiet

It's funny how
our adult children
will come out
of their rooms
at night
to check on us
when they don't
hear us laughing
or talking
in the living room
they suddenly think
something might be wrong.
But we're just asleep
me on the couch
my husband in his chair
worn out from a day
of doing the usual
things we do
and that boring t.v.
well, that puts us to sleep.
