Home is all you Need

Behind our house and through an old fence,

My dad would take me as a baby.

We'd lay in the grass,

As time would roll past, and

that was all that I needed.

​

As I grew older and the weather got colder,

I started to go with my friends.

On a cold winters day,

In the snow we would play, and 

that felt like something I needed.

​

As the flowers were blooming one spring some years later,

I lost my dad in an accidental drive.

 I would then lie on the ground,

With my tears all around, 

Missing the man I thought that I needed.

​

As the sun shown above, me & my partner made love,

Hidden by the trees and the flowers.

The lazy bees would fly by,

And I no longer cried,

Because he was all that I needed.

​

Then my kids played out there,

Even in the chilly air.

As the leaves only grew thinner around them.

And though I looked outside,

With no husband by my side, 

I knew my children were all that I needed.

​

And today I am gone, dirt below my head.

My children's tears crawling through the soil.

But I am in the meadow again,

And I realized right then,

That this grass was my sanctuary,

All of those years, and it 

turned out to be all that I needed.
