A Wake-Up Tale By Jessica Gail Lawrence Copyright 2001 Jessica Gail Lawrence

A poem about the writer's dog.

"Ma, are you awake?" You licked my nose watched and waited for me to stir.   I felt the second lick, and the softness of your fur.   I opened my eyes to see you staring, your bark demanding like a child's shout.   "Ma, please get up... I have to go out!"
