6:00 am
My alarm goes off
Izzy* jumps on top of me
Hey mom!
6:00 am
I sigh to myself
Should I hit the snooze button?
Hey mom!
6:00 am
Time to start my day
I hear birds chirping outside my window–even though it’s still dark
Hey mom!
6:00 am
I want to hit snooze
And go back to bed
But Izzy continues to stand on top of me
6:00 am
Hey mom!
I’m so happy to see you!
Pet me! Pet me! Pet me some more!
*Izzy is our Miniature Schnauzer puppy

It’s hard to hit snooze on a puppy! But it sounds like a sweet way to wake up as long as you have to get up. I enjoyed the refrain of “hey mom!” and your description of all that wad going on inside and around you at that hour.

Izzy sounds like the perfect alarm clock!

I like the repetition and playfulness of this poem–even if we can tell you really don’t want to get up!
