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.
