Home Again

For the ones we love

Our parents, our children

Brothers and sisters

Husbands, wives

And dearest friends

Our inspirations

Inhalations

That make our families real

Without cynicism

Or guile

I've lost too much

To speak coldly

Or carelessly

To an open heart

Take them home

And home again

An angel of songs

Lost his voice

And the only peace he has ever known

Is the joy of a kindled heart

Felt from a distance

Inspire

Inhale

Alone, but giving everything

To keep them warm

Their joy is my only respite

Those ones we love

Without cynicism

Or guile

They've lost too much

So I'll give

And give again
