Some days we sleep in
and get the rest we need.
It’s rare life’s burdens
and the dogs
let us sleep past noon,
so when it happens
it’s a special day
and we wake up together
feeling restored and renewed.
Sharing a day of rest
is a special gift,
and every once in a while
the world conspires
to make it happen.
Thank you for reading!
