Home

Where is home
When she is gone
And my heart is with her?

Where is home
When the cotton is stripped away
And I’m napping on steel coils?

Where is home
When the wind pulls my umbrella away
And the rain pounds down harder than ever before?

Where is home
When she forgets my name
And never returns my phone calls?

Where is home
When the last sand falls to the bottom of the glass
And life is but a distant memory?

Where is home
When I call out
And am unheard?

Where is home
When I write a suicide note
And all they can say is that they’re praying for me?

Where is home
When love was left hanging in a tree
And the rope was recycled to hang me?
