Today, the home I worked hard to build stands empty. Not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too.
The rooms I painted, the halls I decorated, the shrubs I planted, and the place I have called home for over two decades sits bare and abandoned.
Where is my home? Where do I belong?
Everyone has moved on. There’s no going back. A new family will soon fill those rooms, new memories will be made, a new life will be built, in both that house and in the hearts of my family.
Where is my home? Where do I belong?
I’m the one that left, and then they soon followed suit. It was because of me that house stands empty, that family is now scattered, we’ve all moved on.
For what? I just wanted to be loved, wanted, and desired. I still want.
Where is my home? Where do I belong?
It was the only home I’ve ever had. I was lost and alone before, lost and alone while there, and I’m still lost and alone.
Where is my home? Where do I belong?
I can’t seem to find it.
The Whimsical World of T.L. Gray 
There are many words, in many books, that offer us tools for living a more peaceful life. But to only collect them and not use them does no good. Until they have real meaning, through experience, they are only words.
We have become a people of wanting fast results, big pay offs, with little effort. Forgotten are the words, ‘ That which is worth having is worth working for.’
Continuing to spend our days complaining, worrying about the state of the world, our lives, and the emptiness we feel inside, yet we go right on doing the same things we do. With the slightest of effort, we could realize that it is the things we do, that brings the things it does. And so therefore, it makes sense to think, we should do something different.
Taking responsibility for my actions, is a good place to start. My thoughts, words and deeds are very powerful and I’m constantly creating the world I live in within my heart and the world I see… with them. When I take responsibility for my actions, chances are real good, I’ll make better ones.
Only when I make choices that unite rather than divide, will peace live in my heart…and the world. One by one…little by little, the molehill becomes a mountain. * smiles*
I wish you peace… * hugs*
