I came home yesterday
and found the front door left unlocked.
It was strange.
We were always careful.
Yet, the door was unlocked.
Did someone try to come in?
If the alarm were not set,
would they have,
and what would they take?
It’s a reality I’m grateful
not to come home to,
but the thought is now there.
And the police flashed their pretty lights
across the street.
Was someone having their fun today,
and were they finally caught?
Or would I wake up
in the middle of night,
worrying about finding someone here
invading my home?
