It

It caught me off my guard And crept up while I slept, When I awoke at dawn Through the window it slowly went. It never said a word to me Or whispered in my ear, But it did do one thing, To my eyes it brought a tear. I knew one day it would arrive But I didn't know how fast, I was not prepared for it And hoped it wouldn't last. I wondered why it came at all What was its master plan? To catch me unaware Not caring who I am. The next night it arrived again But this time it didn't go, It over took my body And to God it sent my soul.... Lynn Barany.
