Rise and Shine – Not! (for teens)
©1997 Susan Noyes Anderson, At The End of Your Rope, There’s Hope, Deseret Book
Don’t wake me up.
Don’t pound my door.
I need more sleep.
I need much more.
Much more than you.
Much more than he.
Much more than this
whole family.
Have some respect!
I stay up late.
I watch tv.
I meditate.
I need my rest,
believe you me.
Ignoring you
takes energy!
