Poetry Monday
Little One
It's 5 a.m., too early to hear my two year old clumsily opening his door. There is just enough light to let me see his little silhouette feeling his way into our room. Something about his walk tells me he's eager to begin his day, and mine as well.
There is something about that last hour or two of sleep in the morning that is hard to give up. So, I put my youngest between my husband and myself, hoping he will close his eyes and slip back into a deep slumber.
Two, maybe three minutes pass and I'm just about to breathe a sigh of relief as I feel little fingers prying my eyes open to the sweetest grin ever to grace the face of a child.
Good morning little one,
how have you been
since I last kissed you
and tucked you in?
Did your pillow caress you,
your teddy hold you tight?
Did sweet dreams surround you
till this mornings light?
Was your first thought to find me
and give me a kiss?
Did your heart long to hear
how much you'd been missed?
Good morning little one,
I thank God above
for one more day to shower
my little one with love.
by me, kfmb :)
Hugs.

sweet poetry ... must be a darling child ...
Awe that is so sweet Kathi! I really liked that one. Love you! Have a wonderful day...
Ps I start school this week so I will probably stop by soon. I have class Mondays and Tuesdays.
dzer ~ you're kidding, right? Have you not heard any of my 'Charlie' stories??
nikki ~ thanks sweetie...do you remember when Charlie was around that age? He was such a sweetie, Lord help me. :)
p.s. Well, pick a day hon, cause you know I don't want company twice in one week. :) (KIDDING...or am I?)
sweet hizzle ~ no you won't.
Kathi, ~chapbook~chapbook~chapbook~ ......
Trying to give you subliminal messages over here!
This was absolutely beautiful--then again, I'm a huge fan of your poetry---more because it comes straight from your heart.
Very cute :)
Both the boys were soo cute when they were little, not that they aren't just as cute now of course. And I have some stuff to do today before class, so it will probably be next week on Monday or Tuesday. Any preferences?
I'm not a poetry kind of guy, but your writing blows me away. I post on other sites about subject matter, etc...but I think you could write about the phone book and keep me interested.
deb ~ exactly, you like my stuff cause you love me...and I love you for it.
blackops ~ ty
nikki ~ depends on what kind of mood I'm in, what Marks cooking... :) No, hon...anytime is fine, I hope you know that.
casually me ~ such a silly guy. And it's true what they say about flattery...better watch yourself.
I saw Charlie on Sunday, did he tell you i said hi. I was in a hurry, I know I should of stopped by and atleast said hi.
Nice poem, keep posting them when they come to mind.
And I will always keep you in mind.
XOXO
Abi
