Page Six

I glanced up from my labours,
And looked toward the sky,
With all the joy of living gone
And life just trudging by.

I protested in the silence,
Enraged at labours lost,
For loss of time and effort,
My soul at such a cost!

When did love and caring
Turn into dread and tears?
When did I accept such change,
And why for all these years?

In angered desperation,
I fled this path not mine,
To tend my inner garden,
To reclaim that which is mine.

I turned my back on failure,
And walked into the day,
Chose my life, chose myself,
Let others choose their way.

In doing so, I've found a path,
Emerging in full sun,
Encircled in a rainbow,
With elves that dance and run.

Where days are full of promise,
And work is shared and fun,
Where life is rich with living
With joyous nights as one.

"Home is where the heart is"
And where's your home today?
I've found mine and didn't know
I'd lost it 'long the way.
