Good Morning
Awake. Muscles stretch.
A tiny black nose meets mine
from under the quilt.
And another one.
Two boys, ready to go out
and sprinkle the rocks.
Back inside for treats
Breakfast: yogurt, graham crackers
Jeans leg tug of war
But not with dress slacks
They know the difference – pants
mean there’s a meeting
And Dad is thinking
all serious, so no play
when pants are involved
Until time to leave
They sit on the sofa arm
Wagging tails ~ (more treats)
Little ways we live
Dance steps of love with our dogs
That make life better!
