THEM

Serene, tranquil, daybreak
My day is beginning
With my first shot of awake!
I-can't-drink-this-fast-enough stimulant,
My day has begun.

Rushing, overwhelming, hot
Rock the baby. Take the quiz. Make her meal.
Finish the assignment....I have not!

"Why do I gotta do this?"
....one thousandth and one time...
Them!" (in a blissful hiss)
My day is happening.

Homework, backpacks, bus
He hugs. He smiles. He melts me.
"Miss, we had a great day, it wuz?
Hasta manana, Maestra!"

Bath, bed, covers
She hugs. She smiles. She melts me.
"We had a great day? she mutters
I Love You Grandma!"

My day is a Blessed event...
