Never Alone

I sit by myself.

Alone.

Through my open window,
the neighbourhood bustles with activity,
Yet here I sit.

Alone.

Laughter booms out from across the street.
I glance out my window,
just in time to see the neighbours sharing
an incredibly joyous moment together.
They are so happy!
Still, here I am.
Inside, and

Alone.

My telephone rings, and the sound is like music to my ears.
Finally!
My heart jumps to my throat with excitement,
racing to the phone.
But alas, a wrong number.
So I sit back down.

So very alone.

It is then that I see it,
standing oh so tall,
shining oh so bright,
just smiling at me.
My heart fills with wonder,
and my spirit begins to dance,
As I look upon the angel sent to me from heaven.

And right then,
In that moment of epiphany,
I know the truth.

We are NEVER alone.
