Not A Moment Too Soon Poem by Janice M Pickett

Twilight said goodbye as I turned to go
Not a moment too soon the sun lost its glow
I shuddered, as the cold tickled my frame
At last I was sure this wasn't a game
I was alone no more abuse
No cussing and fighting
I'd broken the noose
my life was about to start over again
Fun
Joy
Laughter
Free of the pain
By the time it sunk in the moon was up
I put on the kettle filled my teacup
A new day dawning
Time for me to fly
on freedom's wings to a promising sky
Full of new hope I stared at the moon
Thank you I whispered
not a moment too soon
