Wake up slow

Darling

There’s no hurry

The world can wait

I know that we both have

So much we want to do

But let’s just stay

For a moment

And count the stars

That are fading

You can tell me

Everything that you were dreaming

Then I’ll make my coffee

And I’ll fix your juice

And we will cuddle up

Like we

Always do

You’ll hug my neck

And I’ll hold you close

And I’ll wish that

You never have to grow old

We’ll make banana pancakes

And pretend like we’re monkeys

Cause being serious

Is for old fuddy duddies

You keep me young

I hope you always do

I hope you always know how much

Mommy loves you
