I woke up early for work but by the time
I was out of bed, you had been on shift for hours.
I left and you came home some time later
But we met in the afternoon and shared our
Dozy desire to nap and forget everything for
A little while. I woke up with a headache and I
Let you sleep on—you needed it but when you did
Wake up, we had a chore to run. Which we did—
Getting gas for the car. Then we returned home
And you made dinner for us.
We both know that this was a typical day but we
Also know that our magic isn't lost in plain things.
It gets stronger and deeply weaves within us
Every passing day; in every little simple thing.
