there have been a couple of times i told him we could
go to the doughnut shoppe early in the morning
just the two of us
~

before he falls asleep he reminds me
~
at 7 o'clock in the morning
i feel a gentle tugging at my toes
~

in the summertime we dangle our feet off the edge of the wharf
i am drinking my coffee and he is eating his
strawberry frosted doughnut with sprinkles
in the winter we go to the beach
and walk around till we are so cold we can't stand it
and then we drive home
to see if anyone else is awake yet
so we can tell them about our special adventure
that they missed
~

but we bring them back a doughnut
hmm delicious!
ReplyDeleteha. fun. those are cool adventures.....we took a day trip last weekend to the doughnut shop....abt 2 hours away...and we went for other things too but that was my wifes request....
ReplyDeleteThat was a lovely post full of spirit. :) And know I want a doughnut.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Wonderful photograph and lovely story to accompany.
ReplyDeleteWhen camping my son asks me to wake him early in the morning so we can sneak down to the beach and watch the thick mist burn off the lake as the sun rises ... our secret treat :) Wendy x

ReplyDeleteA gift of a donut is a pleasant start of a day!

I feel my inner Homer Simpson!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this poem/story today. Everything.
ReplyDeleteOften on Saturday mornings, I wake up to my sweetie coming in with a warm apple fritter and a Starbucks light white mocha! It's always a special moment.

Simple moments spent together can make for such great memories. and that doughnut looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and loving thing to do! :) And that doughnut looks beautiful and delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh please send that over - I could need some sugar today! :-)
ReplyDeletethe doughnut looks tasty! I haven't had a doughnut in decades; I wonder if I would still enjoy eating one.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I appreciate your wishes of peace from different elements of our Earth. Would you mind if I copy them for inspiration at my place of prayer?
ReplyDeleteA doughnut would be good ~ Smiles ~
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile. I used to get donuts as a treat with my Dad when we went to the bank on Sunday mornings, when the bank only opened for four hours... Today, my wife brings home donuts on coffee on Sundays as she's coming home from work. Your story makes me think of that warmth.
ReplyDeleteYummy. Want one now! :)
ReplyDeleteThe quiet of an early morning is indeed a magical time of day. A poem as sweet as the doughnut.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tradition and beautiful memories. That is the most delicious looking doughnut! xo Karen
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvellous way to begin your day! Just 'A' as in one doughnut :-)...
ReplyDeleteSweet sentiments, lovely way to start a day! I'm not an early riser, although I enjoy sunrises. Making time for someone special is such a gift.
ReplyDeleteNicely done - the ending was the icing on the doughnut.
