This mommy's lament over daylight savings ending...

Why must you rise so early sun?
Lizzie's up; her day's begun

Too early to hear,

"I need you mommy dear

Help me get out of this diaper

I need to feel cleaner & lighter

Let's put on pretty panties

I'll pick them out so you be ready

Now for my favorite - a twirly dress

don't say no or I'll be a mess

Next are my socks and even my shoes
Pink will be the shoes I choose

What's next? Hair out of my face

a ponytail will hold it in place

Thanks mommy - I'm ready for the day

Where is sister? I want to play!"

All of this is done

not a minute past 6:01!

This is no fault of her's, she just like me

I know my mom thinks this is funny.

Thank you Lord for another day

Lead us in Your patient way!
