I do my best

Maybe spring will come.

I do my best

To focus on the blue sky

The cloudless blue sky

Oh yes

And the sun.

I do my best

To remember the arrival

Of daylight savings time.

This weekend.

We lose the hour we gained

Last fall.

It will seem lighter

Longer

Or morning won’t lighten

As quickly.

I do my best

To focus on the sun

To appreciate it

Exactly the way the cat does

Simple and full

And now it’s time

For a nap.

He does not care

What the clock says,

Only that the sun

Is there.
