Welcome home

is more than a phrase

easily spoken,

Just as a home is more

than a roof

held up with four walls…

Open arms

draw you into a

safe haven,

either in your heart

or actually…

Guiding you back

to the core

of who you are really

before world and time

betrayed and dismayed you…

Offering a light 

to the soul that powers

your “everyday”…

It can take as much

courage to accept

the phrase for yourself

as it does to recreate

the home you deserve…

So lay down your arms

 Warrior,

your heart is no longer

under siege awaiting

the next battle cry…

You are safe,

You are home,

You are loved.
