Papa\u2014<\/p>\n
Awake before the sun<\/p>\n
but after the Robins<\/p>\n
have begun their songs<\/p>\n
for the day.<\/p>\n
Awake because I lay<\/p>\n
in my thorny nest<\/p>\n
of warmth\u2014<\/p>\n
Wondering if<\/p>\n
you\u2019d still enjoy<\/p>\n
the Robin\u2019s sing<\/p>\n
knowing it\u2019s the last Spring<\/p>\n
you\u2019d hear them \u2014<\/p>\n
and knowing<\/p>\n
you won\u2019t see<\/p>\n
the sun make its journey<\/p>\n
across the skyline<\/p>\n
for you.<\/p>\n
I wonder if you\u2019re awake too\u2014<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And if you were, would you still go outside<\/p>\n
to hear their sweet songs\u2014<\/p>\n
and watch the sun gently rise<\/p>\n
over the horizon\u2014<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
or I wonder,<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve seen that enough.<\/p>\n
