The Protected Window
I sat by my window today
Daydreaming of how it was with you since you went away
The weather was cloudy with a lingering mist portrayed
It casted a dark shadow across the window pane
The haunted dream I awakened from earlier left me in daunting pain
I wasn’t sure if you were still in hospice, or if you had already passed
Oh mom it hurts like a crushing backlash
There’s an emptiness I’ve never felt in my heart
Intruding voices refuse to depart
My protected window enables me to keep the world far away
While God sheds upon me his amazing grace
