Yesterday
I realized (again)
That I had not put You first.
You were stuck, tucked, shoved
Behind my late nights
browsing endless links to words wise, funny, and stupid;
Behind mornings
busy with breakfast for the family and daily details;
Behind the siren call of "time for me, me me!"
There's always an excuse.
But yesterday
You nudged me from behind
And I took the hint.
So this morning
I put You first
And You gave me a sunrise.
Please keep nudging.
Well, that cut deep.
