These days I contemplate the meaning of home When the last breaths of my childhood are taken away With every adult who had to leave When the last of my teen years slip from my grasp Along with friends who stopped coming over after school What is left? This house, it stands empty A new void I've never known But I look around at ghosts of the past and I see The pillars of this house creak, but they are sturdy Changes matter not when the foundation is strong Home changes its shape every so often, but you can always, Always live here
