early mornings

coffee on my breath,

it reminds me of him.

i wonder about his health

‘cause today, he looked grim

.

most days he’s my sunshine,

but others, i try to be his.

it feels like my duty to chime,

show him the bright side, that is.

he does it for me daily,

the least i can do is return it.

my sweet joshua tree.

i wanted to quit,

but i’m glad i didn’t.

(period is for stanza break)
