There's always tomorrow

Continued life with kitten.

We both woke up with headaches,

Unlike the kitten,

She thought headache-y people

Meant more people

To play with.

Even the grandfather cat

Slept

Until she woke him up.

The turtle

Is in winter hibernation mode.

The kitten

Has not figured out

How to disturb

A sleeping turtle.

Maybe tomorrow.

There’s always

Tomorrow.

Waking up

I've had lots of practice waking up... in the morning...even now, in the Emergency Room, having been unconscious for a period of time. Best to put that practice to use.

I wake up every morning

And know

Something

Someone

Is waiting for me

Just as

I am waiting

For them.

OK

It has little to do

With any training

I have received

As a priest

As a therapist

And everything to do

With

Every morning

Waking up.
