life far better than I do.
They live in the moment.
They love those who love them.
They value their naps
And exercise every day.
I watch them now, snoring on the couch
while I reflect on my day.
Teaching
Parenting
Studenting (this should be a word).
It may be dark out,
But my day is far from over.
Even when I do crawl into bed
and set my alarm,
my mind does not settle.
I picture and plan for tomorrow.
Then, when I finally give in and begin to dream,
my dogs appear.
One at my foot,
One at my side.
Faithful,
Comforting,
Content.
