The Tentative House Guest

I found myself thinking about you today

It was freezing outside and the sky was the most ashen gray

I wonder if you’ll come and if you’ll stay

There’s nothing expected of you

But I certainly hope for the best 

Don’t be afraid of the skeleton in the front yard 

Pondering the end somehow brings me rest 

I know he’s out of season but he’s something I never could discard 

And there’s 11 months till Christmas comes ‘round again

On days like this, my hope wears thin

Are you RMS Carpathia an hour too late?

Even if you are, you are still great 

My rescue, my vision, my prize, my future 

I’d never tell you this but only Golden retrievers are cuter 

You can hang out if you like

I’ll show you how to ride a bike

And how to climb walls

And read and write

You’d have a cool dad who would give you everything 

I’m not much for music, but if you want to, you can sing

Please, I ask you, don’t worry about anything

There’s abundance here

Don’t be afraid 

We’ll show you the way

The front door’s open

And look at that – the sky is clear
