My Footsteps...
Sometimes as I lay in my bed, I hear sounds.
Sometimes it can be very loud and then it can be very low.
Just what it is, I don’t know?
Dad say’s it’s all in my head...
He says that I should not be scared.
Mom says it’s just this old house, just settle in.
Almost like when Grand daddy sits in his old chair.
I guess Mom and Dad could both be right?
Maybe it’s just me and my fear of the night?
Soon after they leave, I finally settle down.
When all of a sudden!
I hear a loud sound, Boom!
I sprang from my bed and ran down the stairs and what should I see?
It’s just our old dog Ralph and silly little me.
Oh! What a relief... I’m so glad to see, it’s just Ralph and me...
I guess the only real noise I hear, are just the footsteps of me.
