PIGGY

I stood in the middle of the room and looked around and

there were people laughing and people crying and then

there was me.

There were people praying for people and people being

prayed for by people and then

there was me.

There were people singing and people praying and then

there was me.

There were people dancing and people shaking but still

there was me.

There were people in couples and people in groups and

no-one on their own

except me.

There were people praising Him and people experiencing

Him and just one person alone in the crowd again, feeling

nothing again

and that was me.

Then, from somewhere deep within me, a voice screamed

out, “when is it my turn, what about me,

don’t you love me?

Suddenly no-one else mattered. I could see nothing else

because you were there Lord and in that whole room there

was just you

and me.
