Morning


After you're a bit more awake, I have a question for you.
Your reply awaits awakening, after you're alert enough to
Comprehend a vital question.

Until then, a lesser question, one that could speed along
Your revitalized alertness, and bring a morning smile;
Do you want tea or coffee?

After our cups of favorites, you are more, you, almost;
Open to listen, if not speak as brightness returns to eyes,
Making a morning face beam.

Blurting out the question from my over anxious lips
Into your half-open ears, I see a nodding, "Yes," to my,
"Ready to eat breakfast?"
