one second

so long I have waited
listening for a footfall at the door

now in that very listening
am assured

that You have never left this house at all
for one second

but have in all this time
been overlooked

simply ignored

He is always there. When I lost my wife last year He stood beside me. He has never left this house at all either.

Dear oldmainer, I was very moved by your response to my poem. Thank you most sincerely.
