The Morning Mist

The morning mist caressed my flesh Ever so gently and warm and fresh I lay in the meadow awaiting the sun To wake me and warm me so I can have fun The Larks and the Jays all singing so sweet Playful tunes to the ear and daylight to greet And my lover beside me hairy legs over mine Is still sleeping deeply oblivious to time The cattle are calling to their young to gather Time to rise with the sun eat and grow fatter And the sheep and the lambs are doing the same Rise up Gods' creatures we must eat before the game And my lover beside me hairy legs over mine Is still sleeping deeply oblivious to time. And the warmth from the sun in the morning light Warmed and dried me completely from the moons' misty night What a wondrous place this meadow of mine So peaceful and magical time after time.

Had I have known you were sick, I would have written you a poem about chicken soup or something, maybe ice cream. Peace my friend:):)

So will mine. Cats sleep 18 hours a day. It's amazing. I have five. They should be called lounge lizards. Lol. Thank you Tim
