Last night
I dreamed of home
Surrounded by
Laughter and love
Old memories made new
To the eyes of a young man
Finding his way in the world.
Last night
I dreamed of home
New voices
Join the old ones
But the same laughter
And love floated through
The air
Crystalline notes
Of joy
New memories joining
The old
In the eyes of a tired man
Seeking a new place in the world
Last night
I dreamed of home
I miss the warmth
I miss the laughter
The smiles
Easy conversation
That means everything and
nothing at all
And now I search again
So tomorrow I can awaken
And think to myself
Last night
I dreamed of home
And you were there
I dreamed of home
Surrounded by
Laughter and love
Old memories made new
To the eyes of a young man
Finding his way in the world.
Last night
I dreamed of home
New voices
Join the old ones
But the same laughter
And love floated through
The air
Crystalline notes
Of joy
New memories joining
The old
In the eyes of a tired man
Seeking a new place in the world
Last night
I dreamed of home
I miss the warmth
I miss the laughter
The smiles
Easy conversation
That means everything and
nothing at all
And now I search again
So tomorrow I can awaken
And think to myself
Last night
I dreamed of home
And you were there
It's no surprise that as time passes, people float in and out of our lives, as well as family distances itself. Marriage, divorce, children, these things take a toll on us. I am from a family of four boys, and I never see my brothers, save one. I addition, my mother passed years ago from cancer. I've divorced and met someone new. So life has changed, and it inspired this piece. I hope you enjoyed it.
