Naps

You work so hard, I barely see
The wife that fate has given me.
You stay up all night, And in the day,
You take a nap. What more to say?

Though I enjoy reading my books,
I love more the time we give each other looks.
And though I don't mind watching over your sleep,
I miss the time together we keep.

I know why you work so hard,
For accomplished work is its own reward.
I just wish that once in a while,
The time would stop so we could smile.

And we could dance, or sing, or talk,
Or take a moonlight, briny, beachy walk.
Or do something else, but, oh, it seems,
That the thing we do best is share our dreams.
