Coffee For Two
Coffee for Two
She woke me this morning and softly she said
Are you planning on spending the whole day in bed
So as I started turning toward her gentle voice
I asked her if we really do have that choice
She smiled and said it sure sounds good to me
But how in the world will we get our coffee
I told her that I set up the maker last night
And it waits in the kitchen to bring us delight
Then I told her that I'd gladly go get us a cup
I know it sounds good but we have got to get up
She told me she knew but there'd soon be a day
When our kids would get older and be moving away
Then all of our mornings will be just you and me
That’s when I interjected and a pot of coffee
She said just imagine and won't it be nice
That’s when I offered her a small sacrifice
That I'd always bring coffee to lessen the strife
Of all of the trouble she puts up with in life
