Sunday Morning
I remember Sunday mornings, sitting in sunlight.
Yellow wrapped all around me, my sun dress.
Appropriate attire for such a golden time.
Warmth pouring in from the large glass doors behind the garden.
Watching spiders make their way stem to stem.
Sunday mornings, I remember them.
I remember Monday mornings, wrapped in sheets.
Wakened by a white light, and a tired mothers call.
Cooling my legs with icy jeans, wishing for one more moments rest.
I remember Tuesday mornings, sick with fever.
Laying on the sofa trying to study, with a kitten in my arms.
Wishing I too could live a life so simple.
I remember Wednesday mornings, driving to work.
My scarf tucked into my jacket, feet numb.
Wishing I had a lunch in my bag.
I remember Thursday mornings, waking up to him.
An aroma of brewed coffee and waffle batter steaming.
Happy for visits to his city, and happier to be in his arms.
I remember Friday mornings, sore from last nights run.
Legs shaky down the stairs, praying they didn't give out.
Orange juice for recovery.
I remember Saturday mornings
Filled with giggles, gossip, fuzzy socks and big t shirts.
Friends surrounding me, tending each other’s hearts.
Sunday morning, is still.
Peace is present.
Moms newspapers crinkling.
Songs sung from every branch, each one a delight.
Golden beams return, and grant me rest.
I remember Sunday mornings.
