Home

Evicted now from house and home
our mortgage in arrears.
This finally brought home to roost
the worst of all our fears.

The repossession notice
never came as a surprise,
we’d struggled now for many years
avoiding this demise.

A loss of both our house and ‘home',
NO… it cannot be that way!
We’ve only lost our house you see,
our home's still where we stay.

And home cannot be torn from us,
it lives within our hearts.
Wherever we lay down our heads
is where our new home starts…..
