An Uninvited Guest

An Uninvited Guest
LindaC


An unwelcome visitor knocks on my door
Sorrow has come to stay
Uninvited it sneaks in
And lives with me once again.

How long will it visit this time?
Will it ever go away?
It has visited me before.
I do not wish for it to stay.

I feel so very, very sad.
There are tears I cannot hide.
Why must I go on with sadness a guest
Why can't I enjoy life again?

How do I explain to people the depth of my sadness
That one moment is good and then it quickly changes
I have sunk into a deep, dark valley
Sorrow wins yet once again.

I have an unwelcome visitor
I never know when it will come to call.
I only know it is here yet again.
I pray it will quickly go away.
