KATHLEEN
Already morning. Feels like I
just got to sleep
Life is a list that I made yesterday
So many errands, promises I’ve got to keep
Better get up, better get on my way
If I were Queen I’d put more hours in the day
But when you’re just Wife and Mother
It’s just another morning
ISAAC
Already morning. Please can’t I
just press the snooze
And pull the covers up over my head?
Radio’s warning: bad weather, bad traffic, bad news
Sounds like a good day to stay in bed
But I hear a little voice calling from the other room
Reminding Dad that he should
Rise and Shine and say “good Morning”
(Isaac exits upstage of his flat)
LAURA
Already morning, snatched from
the arms of that dream
The one I forget when I open my eyes
Straight out of REM sleep, up feeding and clothing the team
Does anyone notice my clever disguise?
There’s really a young girl here
who cannot understand
Why girls don't stay young forever
I was never good with mornings
ALL
Each day I memorize some corny
New Age mantra
That I hope will bring some sanity into a crazy day
I pray for something that will make it seem worthwhile
Then I see you smile
And that just makes my morning
Each day I ask myself if I’ve
got what it takes
To be the person that this person needs
to help them make their way
And when it seems like I just
cannot stand the grind
Somehow you always find
Some way to make my morning.
