Out of Harms Way
OUT OF HARM’S WAY
The arsenal environment was what I did not like.
I went as a caregiver to make everything right.
I straighten her world to be just as mine.
The house was a radiance of modern time and the landscaped intensified.
She came home and was very surprised.
She loved her new interior and the scenery put twilights in her eyes.
Was I right for giving her a loving home?
Of course, I was but why did everything go wrong.
She had lived alone for about ten years.
Nothing had ever happen in her neighborhood.
Because I made her house such a loving place, she came susceptible to burglary.
They ramshackle the place and she exclaimed to me you gave it to much beauty.
I was right but the world is wrong.
I did not argue with her at all.
This time she would make her choices.
Today, she is safe and free from harm.
A security system was installed and her house remains adorable.
