Temporary Home

They’ve traveled from one house to another. Some may say they’re strong enough to go on Without a woman to call their mother. Attachment is pointless, soon to be gone. Another house that will never be home. Little children crying themselves to sleep, wondering where they will be next to roam. All they can do is to hope and to weep. Will they love me enough now, I wonder. Shall I go away or shall I stay here? At night, I can still hear the loud thunder of his footsteps drawing so very near. Though I may never find my one true home, For love, I’ve found- I’m no longer alone.
