Bath night

Every other day, I have Bath Night,
Taking turns with my wife,
Precious time with our daughter brushing teeth,
Drying feet,
Reading books,
Singing songs, exchanging silly looks,
Washing elbows and rears,
And behind both ears,
Sharing hopes, dreams and fears,
And the sum totals of our day,
The fun and challenges,
The silly things people do and say,
No more time for play,
It's getting late, energy wanes,
Double blinks,
Yawns above the sink,
Choose a sleeping toy, turn off the light,
Say your prayers and tuck the covers tight, 
We love you Sweetpea - good night!
