Waking
If you are first to rise in the morning,
move lightly as you go,
Children upstairs are still sleeping,
folded in soft blankets, soft breathing.
Step, more softly than their dreaming.
Step, more softly than their dreaming.

Thanks for the comment, and for starting my day with some new-to-me music

This poem reminds me of the song 'Fortunate' by Atmosphere. A certain line in it has him warn against waking the baby, because there's a lot to get done.
