taking a break with a poem

I have now finished the first draft of THE MAN NEXT DOOR. Still quite a bit of work to do so I'm taking a break by writing a short poem, below, Hope you like. (no more to read after this)

KNOWING

Something tells me someone's out there

Taking care of me

Someone I might never know

And maybe never see.

Someone knows just how I feel

And what I'm going through

And someone cares enough to

know exactly what to do.

Who this is I do not know

They are so far and few

But someone with a wondrous gift

Helped me when I was blue.

Just when I was feeling down

My spirits sinking low

Someone popped round with a smile

Just to say hello.

A friendly face, a stranger's face

Someone just like you

Who cared enough to visit me and

Say how do you do.

How they knew that I was down

I couldn't really say.

That's why I think there's someone there

Who's watching night and day.
