The Day Had Come - Inspired by Christina’s World, by Andrew Wyeth (USA) 1948

As I heard the noise,

I got up from where I was laying.


As I heard the noise,

I knew something grim had happened.


As I heard the noise,

I thought about all the pleasant memories.


As I heard the noise

I wondered why it had to be me.


As I heard the noise,

I wished it would be over.


As I heard the noise,

I looked at the once peaceful home.


As I heard the noise,

I knew it would never be peaceful again.


When I heard him scream. 

I knew it was all over.
