A Visitor??

I close my eyes in frustration,
Not feeling well, and wanting to shout:
Why do I feel like this today?
And why am I so full of self-doubt?

I feel the movement of air
Across my face just now.
I open my eyes; the room is empty and still.
I felt it; I’m sure, but how?

I feel a settling in my soul,
A new, peaceful sensation.
I hear a familiar voice speaking
Giving me a revelation.

You are fine, you will go on
You still have work to do.
There are others who are suffering
And they depend on you.

Throw off your mantle of doubt,
Let the sun in your soul shine.
For you still have work to do,
Sweet Daughter of mine.

I nearly jump out of my skin
I recognize now that voice
It is my Daddy commanding me
And I have no choice.

Get up, Dear Daughter, stop hurting
Get out and do what you must do.
I’ll see you in the sweet By and By,
When your work is through.
