Last Night
I rise to wash the sleep from still weary eyes
Mind a little cloudy as I re-visit the nights surprise
Shrill ring shattering a once peaceful rest
Rapid beating of my heart beginning in my chest
The voice seeming so far away begins to speak
I have a call from The Father and my knees go weak
I am ready for you my child to come be with me
Sudden panic as I plead I'm not ready don't you see
I have so much to do before I come to live with you
My family needs me still, I have much more to do
I will give you a little while to accomplish one more task
Only just a little time to finish those things you ask
No more time to procrastinate or make a lame excuse
This time you have left you'll need to put to good use
Awakening I know this was just a dream last night
I wonder if this was just warning for me to get it right!
