You and I are so alike
both of us waking early
with feasting on our minds.
You a cupful of kibble and
me a handful of words.
I fill your bowl and you gorge
like your kin in those
commercials. Then you preen
yourself and its back to bed.
I, on the other hand, often
turn to face the day’s duties
jealous, my page still empty,
my thoughts still stray.
Just lingering over a cuppa joe, having just feed the beasts this am, as I read this.
I regularly envy my cats and my kids Especially when they’re lost in a book by the wood stove (kids) or sleeping in a sunbeam (kittens). Thank you for redeeming that jealous impulse for me:)
I used to feel this way when heading out to school as my cat sunned in the front yard.
As the years March on I appreciate these daily habits of my dog. In many ways they keep me grounded to reality and responsibility. They keep me from floating away from it all..
Good one!
