Mornings

Good-bye, sweet one,
It's time for mommy to leave.
I'll be back real soon.
Be a good girl, won't you please?

It's only for a few hours.
Yes, I know it breaks your heart.
Now, let go of my leg,
Sesame Street's about to start!

I'll be home before you know it.
Now, sit down and watch Big Bird.
Good girl, here's a blanket,
Love ya, Mommy's off to work.
