I’m writing every day of March for the Slice of Life Challenge at Two Writing Teachers
the kids got home
and noise followed them in
after my quiet night
I am grateful for this chaos
even right before bed
so grateful
for the sounds of the piano
the laughter
and soon, the complaints when I
say it’s time for bed
On a Thought 
“and the noise followed them in” – what a lovely line. It certainly is a “being” that accompanies them, isn’t it? You captured this beautifully.
Your line “and the noise followed them in” is perfect. I love this slice and the sense of gratitude!
