Alone In My Room
I'm all alone
In a corner of my house
Known better as my room
It is dark outside my window
The wind is howling
Knocking desperately against the glass
The rain is soothing
Sliding down the roof
I'm under a mound
Of soft pink blankets
Trying to stay warm
I can't fall asleep
So I reach for the closest book
The bible
I am now a turtle
I have everything I need
Inside my shell
My book light has turned pink
From the pink blankets
My bible is opened to I Corinthians
The love chapter
My bear is snuggled
Beside my chest
I start reading
The sounds outside disappear
As I drift off to a land of happiness
........
........
........
I'm all alone
In a corner of my house
Known as my room
It is light outside my window
The birds are singing
A happy song
They are telling me to get up
So I do
And I go outside
And sing along
To that happy song
