Bonds of Glue
My family I packed
Into an envelope
Mailed it North
No stamp, no note
Alone I sat
At home all day
The house so silent
The cat at bay
I dreamed of more
Walking I looked
The stones secure
Nothing but books
I placed myself
Into a boat
Sailed South to buy
A brand new cloak
The cloak I kept
My heart I lost
Alone I saw
My soul dissolved
My family I packed
Into my room
I locked the door
Mine forever- don't move!
Without the love
Such faces bring
My boat doth swing
Nothing to bring
Never shall I
Mail them again
With them I am
A better man
Thus here I go
Into this world
But family's love
Is loved secured
Never forget
The faces who
Like silent wind
Knit bonds of glue
