A Night of Surprises

As the sun sets and the moon rises, hearts are filled with love and fire. The night is sure to be full of surprises; bodies teeming with passion and desire. Hearts are filled with love and fire as the couple makes their way upstairs. Bodies teeming with passion and desire; hoping to create a memory that’s theirs. As the couple makes their way upstairs intent on fulfilling the urgent call; hoping to create a memory that’s theirs, a stirring is heard from down the hall. Intent on fulfilling the urgent call; hoping to allow desires to conclude; a stirring is heard from down the hall; the baby’s cry interrupts the mood. Hoping to allow desires to conclude, the night is sure to be full of surprises; the baby’s cry interrupts the mood as the sun sets and the moon rises. October 5, 2017

Hi Alexis, thank you so much! Any couple who has kids has been through this at least once, and yes you are right - the kids come first. Maybe that's God's plan for birth control :)

Your lovely pantoum made me smile... children do have the habit of making their presence known at inopportune times and I guess they will have to put their possible baby making plans on hold lol:-) Hugs jan xx
