Mornings & Mokopuna

I wonder if winter will visit this year 

The days up to now have been perfect and clear 

It’s 6 in the morning another fine day 

is blessing my world in a wonderful way 

My moko is sleeping just quietly nearby 

I look out the window to the morning sky 

I think of the things that for me lie ahead 

Just thinking makes me want to go back to bed 

I’ve checked out my emails, and answered a few 

I checked out my Facebook, Got Poetry too… 

I opened a Twitter account long ago 

and keep being followed by folk I don’t know 

I really should close it, it’s never used much 

I think it’s more for famous people and such 

My book of appointments I slowly peruse 

check out my next column for the local news 

I need to get back to my novel one day 

but somehow time just keeps on slipping away 

My moko grows older, sadly so do I 

I think how did I ever without him get by.. 

The beautiful difference he’s made to my life 

He’s taken away all my stresses and strife 

I look at the clock and it’s moved on an hour 

I’d best get a move on and go have my shower 

I send morning wishes to all far and near 

Still wondering if winter will visit this year
