Has this ever happened to you?
THE WAKE-UP CALL
As he kissed my lips, I trembled.
His strong arms held me tight.
He kept telling me he loved me
All throughout the night.
*
He was a handsome fellow,
But I didn’t know his name.
That didn’t matter much to me,
As I felt just the same.
*
I felt so very comfortable;
My ears began to ring.
He definitely was my true love;
I heard bells and angels sing.
*
Then I felt a violent movement
As the bed began to shake.
I thought the love he gave me
Made the earth begin to quake.
*
Then I heard a voice call out
Sounding so abrupt.
“When will we have breakfast, mom?
Mommy, please wake up!”
*
“Oh darn” I almost said aloud;
He wasn’t what he seemed.
To my dismay, I realized,
I had only dreamed.
