A Thief In the Night

A thief broke into my house last night; the doors were left wide open. The dogs stirred not as I slumbered on …. Dreaming of us. I awoke with a start. Leaping out of bed, I tripped on my tender thoughts of you As I fled the room searching for the intruder. Room to room, floor to floor, I searched in vain, but all was in order. Locking the doors, I returned to bed. And as I drifted off to sleep, I realized the intruder had been you! While I slept, you had crept into my soul and had stolen my heart!
