Beautiful Morning

That morning
was like any other
with you asleep
safe and sound
safe and sound
leaving that morning
was like any other,
Then the world came crashing down
with lightning and thunder
Shattering your sleep
and rattling your rest.
No one there to comfort
and soothe.
Life can scarcely ever
remain
that peaceful as it was that
beautiful morning.
