I leave little Breadcrumbs...
Scattered here and there...
Sometimes left as obvious
Sometimes left without a care.

Clues to what I think about
Clues to where I've been
Clues to where I used to live
Clues to former sins.

I didn't mean to walk away;
It was just that I
Went a little too far
And I lost track
Of time and distance,
Didn't know...

I've followed the trail, 
of bread crumbs,
you set behind,
each step,
now how am i to return home?...

you
only 
leave 
me
the 
breadcrumbs
when 
the
world 
becomes
another
homeless

She loved visiting her grandma…at Grandma’s everything just seemed right…
She especially loved those times she got to spend the night.

Because as she grew she began to find comfort in the wisdom of Grandma’s words…
Her favorite moments were sitting under the stars…and in the morning…feeding the...

clues gobbled up by blackbirds
Hansel~Gretel alarmed
