Poem – 8 in the morning

Mommy sleeps – peaceful dreams

Baby is in the nursery

Daddy’s eyes are wide open

Such a peaceful time,

this time of morning

The sun is just up over the horizon,

ready to do its rounds for the day

I draw in a breath

I feel sleep

still

lingering

just

behind

my

eyes

I know I will need a nap soon

It was a late night

A tough night

In the end it will be worth it

The baby monitor squeaks beside me

I listen to my son as he moves about

What is going on behind his eyes?

What is going on inside his dreams?

Sweet beams of sunlight,

filter in through the window

Caffeine calls

Time for my morning cup
