The Guardian of the Morning Light

The Guardian of the Morning Light, Creeps out of his little space warm and soft. No one will waste that precious morning light. Our little fur ball will see to that. Oh ye of little sleep… Give up the covers or ye will weep. The door becomes his drums, To announce the morning rays of the sun. He wakes the dogs up to whine and pace, Eventually they will lick our face. The window curtains will begin to part till they… Shower our faces and eyes with light… not soft. Then the bed begins to shake… As everyone begins the climb to our face. But the secret weapons are about to come in. The kitty has awoken the little children. Cold feet assail us as they climb in place. The dreams of a cuddle are now replaced… But tomorrow will be another day If I could only find a place to keep him at bay. ZZZ’s are the treasure of days gone by… But the future is richer with all these guys. Now, if only, the Guardian of Light will be polite And give us one more minute of sleepy respite…
