up before dawn
searching for a shred of peace
to face the day

after a long night's sleep
feeling like my old self
merely tired

real early morning
wishing I don't need breakfast
for the extra sleep

babysitting for friends-
child asks for bathroom company
will he poops

call from dance teacher
two babies and two dogs
sitting for two night

at bible study
"aha" moment among friends
safe to be myself

70 degrees
carrying a coat to work
to use later
