Home
Coming home from school to a steaming hot scone
That Mum’s has just made
Per chance to rest 1 head on your childhood dream infused
Pillow bed
Feeling safe, warm, cosy
Intoxicated by the smell the carpet shed
While watched over by mum and dad sleeping in bed
Knowing that if we got sick a pan of lentil soup and
A hot bath would take care of it
Was sadly replaced by grown up stuff
And having to knock on the door of the place I called home
Which in a strange twist of fate I came to own
Doesn’t feel like home because Joby and Dad are not home.
