Thinking About Her Questions While She's Sleeping

Will the birds find the new feeder?
Is the seed the best kind

for the birds she hopes will visit?
Are the dogs content with their new beds?

Love is a peculiar thing. It makes me anxious
to see her in the morning and find some answers.

those thoughts swim around in the mind of lovers in the middle of the night.

When the pieces of the day are sifted out and you remember the important questions.

Nicely done, ~ Geez.

Hello, Michael,

My husband's been gone almost 17 years, but I remember very clearly how it felt to start each new morning conversation with one another's thoughts.

Lovely.
