For the one who stays

...She wakes before the sun,
packs two lunches—one for school,
one for work,

A prehistoric, funny, little plushie toy,
His name was Gary, quite refined,

On mountain trails they trudge
slow and steady without grudge.
All donkeys live by this strict ethic:

thin lightning like my fingers will write unknow...

It sends me out at all hours shouting, 
Darting down the sidewalk in both directions.
It never smiles and always expects the worst.
It looks for you whe...
