One hour to get to work.
Four hours until lunch.
One hour for lunch.
Four hours until the end of the day.
One hour to get home.
One hour for dinner.
One child on the floor.
One TV in the corner of the room.
One recliner just sat in.
One child turns around.
One lap fills the child’s eyes.
One mouth shyly asks, “Is this seat taken?”
