A True Home
Every evening, every dawn,
Every night and passing day
I leave the home I hold so dear
And happ’ly wander ‘long my way.
I always have my heart with me
But half of it will always seat
Itself inside my house and home,
The only place I feel complete.
Never will I envy those
Who have nowhere to lay their head,
Who roam the filthy city streets,
Bruised, cut, and beaten red.
I’m glad I have a home with which
I wish to never truly part.
My home’s not just a house but one
Which keeps my spirit, soul, and heart.
