As I wander the streets on this dark and lonely night <br />I come across a cottage but there is no one in sight. <br />Everyone is gone like they have disappeared from this earth <br />No record of their death-but there’s one of their birth. <br />The bible lays open so everyone can see—but no <br />One is left here, just memories and me. <br />Where is everyone? Looks like they were just here <br />The stove is left on and I shudder with fear. <br />Suddenly, fire shoots from the sky, the cottage <br />Bursts into flames. Memories lie shattered, My <br />Heart’s filled with shame. <br />The bible’s on the table, not one page is burned. <br />Through the ashes and smoke, I can see the page turned. <br />The Good Book tells all, the truth is revealed <br />God’s taken His people, has my fate been sealed. <br />Why would God leave me here all alone? <br />Oh God, forgive me, please take me home. <br />God answers, “My son, I’m here at your side <br />spreading my love everywhere, together, you and I. <br />Soon Heaven door will open and I’ll bring you home <br />Reunited with your loved ones, you’ll never again be alone.<br /><br />Sandra Finch<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lord-take-me-home/
