		I smiled Smuggly as I tipped the waitress, She exclaimed in delight at the mighty sum! I snuggled into my mink and eyed my sparkling dress, The orchestra was beautiful...and then there came that hum! At first, softly, then it turned into a horrendous dinging. They shouldn’t allow such a noise - it isn’t smart! Even their phones began a terrible ringing.... Oh my goodness! I let out a cry and awoke with a start! Clamoring towards the alarm clock, I fell to the floor; One goal in mind was to stop that awful noise! The clock flew across the room and hit the door, In the silence, I straightened up, collecting my poise! Sleepily putting on my glasses, I poked my eye. It did not help as I staggered towards the kitchen light. I rubbed my sore eye - determined not to cry... With my good open eye, I took in the sight. I focused on the empty coffee maker sitting there. Sighing, I shuffled about to make a fresh pot. My movement extremely slow and steps taken in care. Before my caffeine, my movements are like a robot. Laughter reaches my ears from the room above. With coffee in hand, I shuffle down the hall. Upstairs, I greet my hubby with a playful shove, My eyes widen in surprise, finding he is telling all! It’s all there on the screen before me, Making fun of my snoring while I sleep! The on-line chatters repeated it for me to see, My hubby counts my snores as if they were sheep! I try to keep my mad expression on my face, But surely, he sees the glint of laughter in my eyes, I gulp down the remaining coffee as in a race, Oh, by the way, tales of my coffee addiction are all lies! I rush down to get me another refill, I need to hurry, it’s nearly time to go. Oh for goodness sakes! Hubby’s on the computer still! Hurry, hurry, go start the car below! He jumps up knocking over his chair, Grumbling, he has to go out into the cold. Banging, slamming drawers - he can’t find his underwear! He found them in the basket as he was told! I hear the grandfather’s clock hourly chime, My watch showing me time was running out. Hurrying downstairs, I refill my cup one more time. Hubby is scouring the house - Oh oh, what’s this about? He asks me if I have seen his car key? We refresh our memories of who had it last. I did...we did... he did...Oh no...it’s in the laundry! I run to the dryer and receive a heat blast! I returned sadly, for his key was not found. He was laughing insanely! - Crazy over a lost key? He drew my attention to a familiar humming sound, Our car was already running, He’d started it earlier, you see! Rushing down the road with great speeds, I babbled about many important things to me. All of the things my hubby could do to fulfill my needs, He was driving, so he would just roll his eyes to agree. Before I could finish all I had to say, We had arrived at my employer’s parking lot. With a quick kiss, he was on his way, Our car quickly turning into a little dot! I watched him disappear with a smile, I will get to finish what I have to say, Lunchtime will be here in a little while, Then I’ll tell him I’ll love him forever and a day!

	What is your security light? The gloomy grey overcast mountains drew near, swallowing the azure blue skies and heavenly light, with two blinks of an eye, my emotions did a dive, spiraling downward, deep into a helpless plight. The sky before me crackled with restrained energy, waiting and building up to its momentous beginning. A loud clap sounds the torrential onslaught, Oh no! Its face looked down at me...it was grinning! I shuffled backwards away from that sight, my shaking finger alights all the lamps from within. Relaxing slowly, in the false security of light, lightning streamed across the sky with another grin. I rushed to close the drapes and spied, an electrical finger in the sky, It was reaching out of that tumult and coming towards me. A dismal cry escaped my lips, as I cowered to the floor. Bang! Boom! Bam! Came the smoldering crash of a nearby tree. In an instant, pitch black darkness closed in on me. Childish fears and nightmares filled haunting images in my mind. I scurried in search of a simple match and a candle, my fear increasing as I stumbled about clumsily, nearly blind. Catching my fall, I overturned one of the end tables, I gathered the strewn items, totally frustrated and at a loss, with a singleness of action all of my lamps had turned back on, I looked down at my hands and found my Bible and cross. A calmness entered my being to my very soul. I pulled myself up into the chair near the light. The good book reminded me, “I’m never alone.” As I was drawn into the words within, my fears had seemed slight. As time passed, a glint of bright light caressed my hand, I lifted my eyes towards the windows glimmering light, Astonished, I drew near to view God’s promise, A simple colorful rainbow was an awesome sight! I know I’ll bravely face any future storms, Fears of nightmarish loneliness have been washed away. I’ll sit out my storms with God by my side, knowing that any other security light, may not stay! —Amen Written by: - - - Cindy Barbee
