Notes About The Poem

The Mouse

The Mouse

Get up, get up, 
and start the day.
It is bright..., 
and happy, I’m here to say. 

Jump out, from the bed, 
and out of the hole, 
Through the door, 
and across the floor.
Go.

The farmer’s wife is cookin...

Breakfast at first then, 
on with a thirst, 
fresh coffee at the burner. 
“Grab a cup”. 

Little furry friend, come to stay the day…
The Lord is watching too.
There are so many, but 
so often, he is only heard, 
by the few. 

He sees the needs of those so small,
yet feels they are among the tall.
They are not forgotten,
Even…one.

Casually, comforting…
He offers his own goblet, 
a container full of grace!
So large…so mighty
held open there, right in the air…
A gift... as wide as space.

Today, I found I am the mouse, and the yard is like a wild jungle. I need an umbrella and a picnic basket. I hope you have sunshine on your side of the world too. Blessings on your day. Ann

"So glad you came by said the fly"... hehe... working on a children's verse at the moment and fully in the "funny and silly" mode. Pleased that you enjoyed coffee at my grandmother's place. There are always fresh cookies as well... virtual, but heavenly perfect... Hugs. Ann
