My Family
No dove coos, the sun
sleeps below morn's horizon....
family rises
animals still sleep
old man gets upon his feet....
scent of bacon floats
coffee's aroma
wafts upon darkened cold room....
computer alive
buttered toast awaits
time to lie in the warm sun....
breakfast eaten soon
dogs stand by her chair
begging for some bites of food....
bacon entices
day's chores soon tackled
with much enthusiasm....
farmer plants those seeds
fatigue calls out rest
a nap is caught in his chair....
work some more outdoors
whip-poor-wills calls come
night has slipped in the front door....
two dogs, old man rest
