What Home Means to Me

There ain’t no dog and there’s no cat

in the place where i hang my hat.

There is nobody waiting there

for me to return from somewhere.

You can never go home again

unless those you have loved remain.

But, this is what i can believe:

“We should wear our heart on our sleeve

and be sure everyone knows

our love for everyone grows.”

I am sure wherever i roam

the whole universe is my home.

The cosmos is everywhere

and i always feel at home there.
