It is still dark outside and I am awake.
The light from the hallway is a soft glow and it is in the room watching me.
Waiting for me to get up so It can go to sleep and rest.
It has been up all night, no doubt going from room to room.
I raise one eyebrow up and pull the sheet half way down.
The cold air rushes into my sweaty flesh.
My skin stays clammy in this weather.
My hair is slightly tangled.
My eyes itchy and blurry.
I need a few moments to gather myself before the day starts.
The Creature strides ever so softly towards my bed.
I feel the soft weight of its small body as it jumps up on the crisp white sheet
the white sheet will be filled with gray hair soon.
Then I see it looking at me as It licks it Paw.
I greet it with a smile and pet its soft, Beautiful head.
Angelic purrs and soft tickling of the paw with no claw is how it answers me.
As I walk into the kitchen it follows me.
Making sure I know where to go it leads me to where its food is.
Loving eyes so bright shine a light onto my heart.
I sit its food down on the tray and watch it eat.
With reckless abandon he eats as if he has not eaten for weeks,
It has been only 7 hours.
Licking his mouth five minutes later he is done and nothing is left.
I go into my favorite room of our house.
The Sun Room.
Small room with big windows.
My quiet time will be over soon I must savior this moment.
Coffee in hand I watch as the Sun is just beginning to rise.
As I watch its Beauty I say a silent prayer.
Pray for Peace for my friends, family, the world.
This is the best way to start the day.
