I am always here,

like the ground on

which you walk

too many times.

 

Here I am for sure

and not going away,

like others have gone

and all you had was

the pain of empty home.

 

I remain as this constant

that, despite all that has

been done and said,

holds up your feet

and sustains

your homesick soul.

 

Walk all over me if

that’s what you want

to do, for here I remain

and here I am for you.
