Something New
Although retired, we'd wake up tired;
sound, peaceful sleep, did not acquire.
We found a plan which we admire
that makes our 'day' much more desired.
Our energy picks up at night;
so morning hours are over-hyped.
By noon, sometimes, were feeling wiped;
by ten pm our strength ignites.
Now something new that we have tried;
our sleeping hours have been revised.
By two am to bed, obliged,
and up at ten left us surprised!
We can accomplish much more now;
our 'day' is longer, well-endowed.
And hubby with this plan is proud;
we are in sync here at our house.
We're wide awake, as night flavors
late movies, shows, we now savor,
or read and write past midnight hour;
wake up mid-morn...'new' day is ours.
