In the Blink of An Eye
I blinked and rubbed my eyes, then looked around.
I wondered was I going crazy (like,
my aunt who lived in caverns underground...)
but no, the boy was riding on the bike.
One moment he was there - and now he's gone!
I know I wasn't dreaming; he was real.
It took a while for me to cotton on;
I can't describe the way that makes me feel:
I saw a ghost! I know you won't believe
my story, but I swear to God it's true.
No joke! I have no reason to deceive.
Once sceptic, now I've changed my point of view.
