Home

Though you may not feel ‘safe-at-home’,

there ‘will be’ a time designed to ‘leave-the-nest’.

The curved-path before you ‘will be’ long and narrow,

and there ‘will be’ obstacles along the way.

Do not let the ‘snakes’, ‘monsters’, and ‘demons’

lure you off the path of your ‘body’s’ destination.

When you come to a point that feels like ‘the end’,

there’ll be an ‘ocean-of-opportunities’ for your ‘New Beginning’.

Point your direction, set your sights, and use your instincts.

It matters not what ship you sail; however,

respect the power within the ‘Sea-of-Life’.

Be cautious of where you ‘land’ and ‘sow your seeds’.

Find your ‘piers’: ‘Dock’, rest, and then stay awhile.

Learn to work and play in balance,

and soon you’ll realize (that where ever you are),

that you are home.

You ‘are’ your home.

Inherit this responsibility and command respect,

so that when your children ‘leave the nest’,

they realize that:

The ‘body’ is freedom—yet, this ‘home’ is not free.

This ‘brief independence’ trickles down to the sea.

When enough time has passed,

and they are what they’ll be,

they’ll return home with spirit--

and know in their heart,

that we’re ‘all’ family.
