My Morning

~My Morning~ The moon is going to bed now, I watch it slide away The sky a beautiful shade or orange getting ready for the new day. The pigeons start cooing taking turns in the eaves The dawn chorus is starting, birds waking in the trees. Morning is here a mist hangs low, the air is feeling damp I turn, its time to rise once more, I switch out the bedside lamp. I return to our bed to snuggle hubby, before works calls him for the day “Did you have a good night?” he asks knowing the answer will be “nay.” Three cups of coffee later the first in bed with my man It’s time to tackle the day; and get on as best one can. To waken and see another glorious night give birth to a new day But I would love to miss just one and sleep through one dawn is what I pray.

Mandy, that is very weird what you said about sleeping longer than three hours. I would hate it if I woke up after only three hours!!!

So why does hubbie know your answer will be nay? Do you never have a good night? That would sure suck!! I much enjoyed your entry in the contest, Mandy. It's not only descriptive in the beginning but then it gets personal and lets us see exactly how you think and feel about your day! Luv, Andrea

nice one! you've described it very well and have made it sound appealing, even if you'd have rather slept a bit longer.
