Analysis of Home for now
Johnlpfi 1967 (FRESNO)
Home for now…….
I grew up looking forward to going home,
I spent days where I did not want to be.
Time dragged on and it made me feel so alone,
Until the day came and went to set me free.
I look back to those days when home was near,
I found peace in knowing I was safe there.
Just a little while longer before the tears,
Just a block away from home to find care.
Today I leave feeling better when I have left,
Dreams come alive when I am away from home.
What used to be is no longer kept,
The more I am gone, the more I am home.
Dear mother and Father where have you gone?
I know God has you safe where you are,
Yet I looked forward to each new dawn,
Spending my days with you now afar.
I find alone a joy in nature rather than home,
There I find God and us in the clouds.
Whatever will be, may I not be alone,
Until then……home for now…..
