House Key Image via Wikipedia
I wrote this a couple of years ago for a friend.
You have been gone so long
I have been empty without you
I have been waiting for you.
I sense you are on the way
I stand strong and eager
I await your return.
I know the moment
Your feet step onto my porch
Your hand puts the key in my door
Your hand turns the knob
And then the moment
You step inside the heart of me
I know you are home.
You are my soul
Your loving hands made me
The way I am today
Your heart loves and cares for me.
I have missed you
Missed your footsteps
As you walk my floors
I waited to hold you
Safe and warm
Within my walls.
And now
You are Home.
Signed ~
Your house, Your Home
