Awake

You woke up
A part of me
That I had put
neatly to bed...

All milk and cookies
fuzzy feet pjs
brush your teeth
say your prayers
one last drink of water
downy pillow feather bed
patchwork quilt
of a bed time story

put

to

bed

Only to wake
Up to you
finding me
in that dream state
all bleary eyed
messy bed head

And I can't believe
It's already morning

But the cock is crowing
the dawn has broken and
I am awake
once more.
