Paul and Martha Carroll
This Morning
I awoke early this morning.
Why? I don't know.
Divine intervention, maybe.
I lay in bed staring out the window
In a moment of peace and quiet solitude,
Before the sun came up, and the day began.
My heart spoke in silent prayer, in thinking and questions.
Why is there sadness in hearts outside my front door?
How can I help?
Why do those I love have pain, even those I don't know.
Why and I so blessed?
As the sun came up over the mountain
And some in brilliant life
In through my windows and into my eyes
I turned and looked beside me
And there lay my companion for eternity.
She lay perfectly still.
As I looked at her a tear came to my eye.
Then, suddenly, her eyes opened.
She smiled at me.
And my heart spoke and said,
"It is enough."
