Feeling morning chill
Coldness touches my
Nose
Making me look
Like Rudolph
Hands in mittens
Fingers ready
To warm
Time to move faster
Pick up pace
Of an actual walker
Steps are counted
Breathing increases
Will I make it
To my destination
Or should I
Turn around

For all moms
And dads out there
Thank you
For being essential
To your child
Carrying their backpack
Walking two dogs
Getting the bus
Throwing a ball
Till time to board bus
Staying home with
Your child
So they can learn
Virtually
Learning new technology
So your child can stay
At home
Thanks for kissing boo boos
And comforting your
Teens
This has been a
Rough academic year
But you are hanging tough
Thank you

Puppy out for
Morning walk
With owner
Sees a stick
Of course bigger
Then he is
Puts it in his mouth
And carries to
Next crack in
Sidewalk
So proud of his
Treasure
As he struts along
As the stick
Gets heavier
He drops it
How often have
We found a
Treasure right
In front of us
Gave it a few
Minutes' time
Then dropped it
Because it was
Too heavy to
Carry

Darkness is beautiful
If not a disturbing force
It brings death and much more

Some prefer the light
And the happiness it brings
And some prefer the darkness

Yet the darkness welcomes us
We can stay forever here
'Till the dawn arrives,

When we hide from the light
We creep in the dark,
Avoiding the light

Ah, we are the creatures of the night.

Life is attempting to walk down the stairs in darkness.
You can get better at it if you're familiar with them.
It gets better with time. But what if doesn't?
You'll stumble and fall like a toddler.

Morning is dawning
You can hear.the birds
Waking each other up
From one tree
To the next
Until all.trees are full of
Morning song
Dogs are barking
One by one
For morning
Wake up call
Cats try sneaking in
After being out
All night
Coffee is perking
Tea kettles whistling
The smell of bacon
In the air
Stretching and yawning
Slippers are swishing
Time to get up
And go
Anew day Has begun
