WELCOME, by                    
First Line: When sorrow came on tip - toe to my door
Last Line: Amazed to find me waiting him dry-eyed.
Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness


When Sorrow came on tip-toe to my door,
I heard him falter ere he touched the latch.
He thought that he would take me by surprise
And so quite naturally he felt abashed.
But even Sorrow knows the press of duty;
So presently he pushed the door aside,
Crossed quietly and stood beside my elbow
Amazed to find me waiting him dry-eyed.
