NIGHT VISITOR

It was several years ago now
In middle of the night the doorbell rang
I took care opening the door
But what I saw was no threat to me
A lady standing in the pouring rain
All she owned in a suitcase by her side
I called the wife took her inside
She spoke little English for she was French
But we understood her plight
Her long time boyfriend with no job
Tossed her out into the night
Christmas was coming it was mid December
For two days the girls put up Christmas lights
It took some time but for our friend it got better
Wife passed on to her a favorite sweater
Today once again I answer the front door
There standing was a face I could not ignore
She's a college teach now of her native language
She stops in now and then she is an old friend
One night no where to go but a stranger door
But you know as a young boy I have been there before
And someone in need I cannot in my heart ignore
