Morning Darkness - Abab

Alarm goes off, my sleep it breaks The house is cold The dogs are awake My bones creek as I am old Another morning up to early Darkness still upon us My eyes are still blurry Take a few minutes to adjust The wind is cold as it blows As I quickly open the door Another morning of extreme lows As the dogs race across the floor Dogs please come in Stubborn they will be Calling again and again As they continue to ignore me Quickly the food is served The water is all around Their hunger is finally curved They look for scraps to be found Too early for coffee Maybe some tea The husband is up and groggy A good breakfast is the key Off to work he goes The dogs are sleeping on their bed Back to sleep I will go As I rest my tired head
