My Visitor

Something catches me form the corner of my eye No one's home but I swear someone just walked by There stands a man just beyond the lower stairs Startled yet I'm not afraid as he looks at me and stares I wonder who this presence is who's invading my home He moves shooting a glance at me and proceeds to roam Who's this strange man in the shadows Is he watching over me Is there someone else he might be here to see Once in a while he shows up to let me know he's here I wonder if he visits to see someone he holds dear Is he just letting me know we are not alone Is he lost and wandering trying to find his way home This presence some may call a ghost who visits me My grandson calls him Jack as he can also see The ghostly presence shows himself just once in a while When he chooses to drop by he always makes me smile
