Cherish!. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<3

We balk at the repetition.
Raise the shade.
Lower the shade.
Gather another load of laundry.
Pick up a sock.
Pick up the cleaning.
Straighten the table.
Straighten the bed.
Tell a child to wipe
his face.  Her face.
Her hands again.
Out of  milk again??
Know I laid my keys
on the desk.   Keys.
Keys.  Keys. . .
Then the hands spin
on the clock.
Provided the least warning
we start to pray
to repeat and repeat
right to the end.
