Home so far tonight
I walk
Feet bare
soul worn
i crawled
steady arms to catch me
trust in the midst of despair
you stroked my hair
shame masked my face
tears streaked my cheeks
my chin you lifted
tears you wiped
you hummed to me a lullaby
In your arms I am safe
not so worn
i have found peace
I heal
mothers arms surround me
shield me lift me up
I heal
in a whisper i hear
“sweet child you are home”
