ONE LAST SONG   scroll down then up for midi to play She wandered in the mist it seemed I watched knowing it was no dream She stumbled as she walked and I Thought ..where's she going now and why A woman who never left her home What had made her now just roam Was she sleep-walking in the night Did she not see twas little light I saw her stumble, caught my breath Should I wake her - scare her to death She wobbled on as if she knew Exactly what she intended to do There was a bench side of the street I watched her sit ..as to rest her feet Still not aware that I was near Twas not herself that was quite clear I knew she had been sick a while Always tried to give her a smile But seldom did I see her out For she was sick..without a doubt Perhaps she wanted a change of pace Not to run some unknown race... Just to breathe the air outside In the darkness..save her pride She never asked a soul you see To help her..no, not even me She took her life somehow in stride Just put her cares and wants aside I watched her rise and head back home I followed so she'd not be alone... I felt the tears filling my eyes It was so sad I realized I wanted to let her know I was there But something told me she wouldn't care Changes in her life before my eyes Saw her glance up to the skies Walked her steps; opened the door Now she was gone as was before A woman who once had everything Shows what changes life can bring perhaps her one last song ...... penned by Mary Anne ^j^ God's Little Whispers @July 2009 BTM Myrna changes jftloi By Mary Anne © 2009 Mary Anne (All rights reserved)
