Home by Gerhard E.Frost
Home is where you are
Even when you’re not;
Where you unbutton whatever is pinching you,
Loosen whatever is choking you,
Set down whatever is breaking you,
And tell whatever is bothering you.
Home is where someone is expecting you,
Where your chair, your plate,
Your bed are always kept for you,
Where a memory, a plan, a dream, a laugh
Or a tear is freely shared with you.
Home is where you let up and let down,
Where you stop hiding and let yourself be found,
Where you quit being someone else
And are just your needy old self.
