In the morning I open my yes
And I wonder each time if by chance
I’d be blessed with a glance
Of your face peeking over the pillow
Like your nose peeked over the window
Sill when you wondered what I was doing outside
One night
That night
Such a long, long time ago
When Dutchess our dog
Ran out into the middle of the road
And I cried bye
And I
Just gritted my teeth and shut my eyes
But when I heard no howling dog cries
I opened up and breathed in the
Wings of an angel
Floating up above
She saved my dog and I cried
That night
When we put her into the ground
And we said an animal prayer
Her spirits lifted there
Proved to me
That we can’t see the most beautiful of things
Even if their right
Before our eyes
We can’t
And so I wondered
Where were you?
Peeking over the pillow
In the morning when
The wind came billowing in
And blew the sheet over my window
To the ground
I felt no joy like the joy
I dreamed about last night
When I dreamed about a dog getting hit under the pale moon light
And you were there
Not scared
You took my hand and led me in and
We cried
And we cried
