home is the end of a long journey
a journey that never really ends
it begins when we are born
continues slowly as we make friends
life is an everlasting prison
of tears and grief and endless sorrow
we fear ourselves for no real reason
and dread the coming of tomorrow
beware, my child. beware, be still
for what you think and what you feel
may fall upon a heart of steel
love is the need life shan't fulfill.
