Nice warm bath

She is eighteen now.  We have stopped thinking a nice warm bath will calm her down.

We used to hope
A nice warm bath
Would calm her down
At the end of a long day.
No.
She seemed
The only four-year-old
Revved up for bedtime
By a nice warm bath.
Of course
It didn’t stop us trying
This time
This time
It might be different.
