Alone

When she went home,

I was all alone.

Sometimes I cry,

“I want to go, so I won’t be alone.”

Sometimes I yell,

“I thought I would go first,

I am alone in this big empty home!”

Sometimes I try to stay busy,

So I won’t feel alone.

When I think of her,

I can hear you say,

(“Nothing can separate you from my love.”)

After the tears, I can hear

A voice from inside,

(“I am your refuge and strength I won’t leave you.”)

When I stop yelling,

My thoughts stay still,

(The Comforter is what I feel.)

And when I am not busy everything is quiet,

I hear the knock on my hearts door;

(“Oh, let me come in, I am your friend.”)

“If you hear my voice, open the door and I will come in.” Revelations 3:20

I wrote this for my friend Mike Ryder.

In loving memory of his wife Ryder.
