gratitude

Waking up at exactly 9
looking down at a company so small,
curling on my bed, looking up
with his rounded brown eyes
ready to launch
whenever I'm awake

Getting ready at 10
just to slouch down on the sofa
with the TV on
and the internet connected
while listening to his whining
asking for a bowl full of food

Brunch at 12
Nap at 1
Nothing else matters
as you are enough

Life like this
It will not last forever
I know
But until the very last second
I want to savour it

A heart full of gratitude
counting every blessing and every fall
feeling content for what I have,
not regretting what I don't have.

Waking up at 9
Getting ready at 10
Playing and listening to your rumbles
Watching you fall asleep on my bed,
feeling the comfort of your warmth
in the afternoon

I will not have this previlege
This time next week

As I get ready at 8
leaving you at 9
I hope you're not afraid
Cause baby,
I'll be back before dawn
Filling your bowl with food
and my absence
with grateful heart
