gift from the Lord
Sunday dance Lessons
with no extra tolls

late morning
Yuki* tries to sound alarm
to get his breakfast




*the white cat

mid vacation-
thoughts of work
clouding my rest

one day to flying
weeks worth of chores in one day
against tired return

weekend plans
sleeping, eating and movies
and a good read

praying for a break
resting in God's godness
and His faithful care

trying morning
catching a cab to work
with lots of junk

doing day's dishes
singing Christmas Carols
and tapping my toes

late night chores-
enlarging the clean space
on the first floor

first light
drifting off to sleep
then loud alarm clock

first light
Yuki and I watch the dawn
fill the windows


*the white cat

mid week time shift
early food shopping run
enjoying the calm

Christmas in the air
counting down the days
til I see Mommy

hours in the cold
getting my old car towed
clutching coffee

looking to next year

how to have a good time

with no money

chilly office
reaching for a box of tea
during the paperwork

looking toward weekend
dreams of clean stowed laundry
and spotless floors

Scots bug hits-
Duncan and gang come to mind
a story unfolds

this week's allowance
saved for new Christmas music

no house work weekend
catching up on taped movies
meals supplied by friends
