Greater Need...
Laying here in bed all alone,
I hear the ring of the telephone.
Do I answer it or is it better to ignore,
Great now, I hear a knock at the door.
Whoever it is hopefully will go away,
I am in no mood for them to stay.
What day is it, I don’t think I even know?
The bedside clock has somehow lost it’s glow.
My world came to an end last night,
When I received news my husband lost the fight.
He was an American Soldier fighting for our freedom,
I guess God had a much greater need for him.
