Last Night

I rise to wash the sleep from still weary eyes Mind a little cloudy as I re-visit the nights surprise Shrill ring shattering a once peaceful rest Rapid beating of my heart beginning in my chest The voice seeming so far away begins to speak I have a call from The Father and my knees go weak I am ready for you my child to come be with me Sudden panic as I plead I'm not ready don't you see I have so much to do before I come to live with you My family needs me still, I have much more to do I will give you a little while to accomplish one more task Only just a little time to finish those things you ask No more time to procrastinate or make a lame excuse This time you have left you'll need to put to good use Awakening I know this was just a dream last night I wonder if this was just warning for me to get it right!
