It's hard to make a habit

It's hard to make a habit

at the end of the day, when 

a warm bed calls and so does

the husband, in the bed, waiting 

for me, to sleep

one cannot sleep without the other

me, I make habits and commit to them

even if they are of the 5 minute sort,

or even the 3 minutes that it takes

to heat up my corn bag

to stay warm tonight.
