Home Again

Home Again

by Cleve

Such a beast was today,

Thousands of cars got in my way

And made me late

I missed my appointment for an interview, for a job I need

And they refused me another date

I ran out of gas and walked more than a mile

With gas can in my hand

And turned my ankle while walking back

Hobbling back to the car in pain

There were duns in the mail, and calls from

Friends who I promised to repay

And had to tell them to stand in line

And be paid some other day

But once inside our door, this sanctuary

In the arms of loved ones, those who love

Without demand

Hope returns, tomorrow brightens

Because I am home

Home again
