LIGHT IN THE
WINDOW
Driving home
tired and
groggy
the country
roads
were white, and
foggy
Watching fields
where crops
will grow
A farmhouse
window
is aglow.....
It's late at
night ~
he should be
sleeping;
We ride on by
I wonder who's
keeping
a vigil alone,
in
a darkened
house
For it's one in
the morning
Maybe someone's
spouse
is unable to
sleep
worried and
tired
a small child's
sick ~
in debt they're
mired?
Yet another
small place ~
light thru
frosted grass
Old soldier's
had a nightmare,
watches out the
window glass.
Her wedding day
might be
tomorrow;
in another
home,
someone yields
to sorrow....
So many houses
with one window
alight
What keeps the
people
awake tonight...
