Home and Heart
October 3rd, 2012
Home is where
The heart is
But I don’t feel
A beating in my chest
Decisions to be made
Places to go
People to see
Things to do
The home
And the heart
Are similar
We only have one
May be many houses
May be many vital organs
May be other living places
May be other ways to live
But without a home
And without a heart
There is no way to survive
There is no way to live, to thrive
Home is where
The heart is
But I don’t feel
A beating in my chest
With regret I say adieu
To all I have made here
I’d said goodbye once before
To all I had made there
So to return
Is not to forfeit
And to return
Is to have grown stronger
It is with a wiser mind
I behold before me
A better person
A better life
I must not falter
I must endure
I must not get to be
As I had been before
Home is where
The heart is
But I don’t feel
A beating in my chest
