Life's Dumbfounding Reality

Everywhere is not like home
Sorrow, sickness, fever 
Have you eaten yet. What is missing
Never heard of it like this
It's good that I have loved ones who care and ask
Everyday, have you eaten yet. How are you
Why we decided to come here out of concern
But why is it so empty
I can work. Never give up
But today seems to be disappointing
With what I have seen all around us
What is encouraging now is my loving wife.
