Wake Up Call

Wake Up Call

Too early in the day, I wake

the dark is lingering long.

I lumber to the kitchen,

stretching with a yawn.

The coffee brews, the news is on,

it hasn't changed at all...

tradgedy, politics, and the world's

continuing fall.

I sometimes wish I didn't know

the things that make the news,

I think I may go back to bed

and hit the button SNOOZE>

About the Poet
I am a Christan mother, grandmother, wife, aspiring poet, and owner of a bed and breakfast with my husband of 37 years. I love to create an ambience of serenity in my home. I love soft music, the sounds of the birds in my yard, the whir of the ceiling fans,... Time has passed since the first time I wrote my Poet Bio...it has been three years now....in that time my life has changed drastically. We lost our beloved youngest child, our only son, to suicide. It has been devastating...shaking my faith to its core but not destroying it. I have not been inspired to write for quite some time now. I pray that I will be able to emerge from this pain and write with a new passion about my journey. Until that time I ask for prayers and that God will continue to speak to me and give me the peace that passes all understanding.
