New Year: 2010
My doorbell rang
It was the middle of the night
I had been sleeping
My three dogs snuggled in tight
The ringing persisted
My dogs crouched and growled
Surprised at their menacing response
Upon the door I did pounce
There stood a figure in a long cloak all in black
His face shrouded eerily by a hood
A scythed staff scared the dogs back
He pointed a bony finger down the road
He spoke, “Your new year awaits. It is full of death.”
His statement shocking, I held my breath
The cold wind chilled as it blew
Awakening me to what I already knew
“God gives us choices all along our way.
And thank you very much but I’ll be guided by his way.
Each day is a new beginning
And the future, you won’t be predicting.”
I slammed and locked the door shut
Still shaken by the man who woke me up
Back in bed ready for sleep, three dogs in tight
After all, it was very cold. It was a three-dog night.
