Romantic Evening A tap tap tapping upon the front door Pierced the silence of a dark night And rising slowly from my easy chair I reached to turn on the porch light Who could be out this time of evening It was much to late to come and call Land sakes it was two minutes to ten As I looked at the clock on the wall Curious as to who stood there tapping I cautiously called out 'who is there' And the answer was so very unexpected It caused me to stop and blankly stare Come inside I said, as I opened the door And warm yourself by a glowing flame Where have you been I've missed you so Since you've left my life isn't the same It was then he offered me the flowers With a bottle of expensive red wine A beautiful card of sparkling hearts And 'Valentine Will You Be Mine' Time stood so still on that late night As we hugged and lovingly did kiss But soon he said, it's time to depart And as he left I knew him I would miss Chimes from the old clock on the mantle Were ringing that the hour was now ten And looking around in great confusion My heart cried out for what had been Sitting very quietly in my favorite chair I realized the night was just a dream And as the glowing embers slowly died I knew I was alone or so it did seem Entering the door to my empty bedroom That we'd shared as husband and wife Before me he stood with opened wings And he carried me to our heavenly life Janie Moser 02/07/07
