Drawing Your Day

*** DRAWING YOUR DAY ***

Well, wake me, then, before it’s
Time to sleep, so I may eat
Some bites of cheddar cheese 
(A delicious catalyst for lively dreams);

And,too, tell me, please,
Every detail of your day, because I
Will, draw it all — to treat the eye — 
In the corners of a flipbook (at least I’ll try).

I’ll depict you as a tiny stick figure, coming
And going…Even in flight, rising in the sky!
Above clouds.  With a flock of birds — wing to wing;
Returning on through heaven’s stars; angels waving good-bye.

I’ll wake you, then, later when I’m done,
And show how I I pictured the end of our fun:
When, before my leave, we ate slices of bread and cheese,
Praying our thanks for sharing these hours of memories.
