When Juna wakes
with first light
I turn to her
she looks in my eyes
smiles big and says "Hi"
When Juna wakes
she tells me all about
the sweet dreams she had
she points to the objects
in the room and listens
for their names,
fan, window, pictures
She stretches, her arms and legs
straight out and her little
round tummy sticking up
which reminds her
about her belly button
which she shows me and
presses with her finger
and then it is my turn
When Juna wakes
rolls, tumbles and pounces
around in the pillows
and laughs, it's the
sweetest sound
I've ever heard
and she loves each day
I think, as much as I love her
then I say "up" and
she stands and
reaches out her arms, palms up
and I say "jump" and
she is in my arms
she puts her head
on my shoulder
and wraps her arms
around my neck
I can not imagine
a more wonderful way
to start my day
