Irreplaceable

July 5, 2012
I wish I was Home... Not here, in this beautiful house With a big lawn and chained fence to secure my privacy It's peaceful here Plenty of silence to meditate Open space to exercise my creativity Of course, if you were in my shoes, you would love it here... I know...I've heard it before I should be grateful that I got out of the "hood" Now I can make a fresh start But starting over, can be so lonely All the pretty materials in the world can't substitute the absence of the people you love Their presence can't be replaced with a ride in a car Or a movie on a brand new t.v. It doesn't measure the same And it doesn't fulfill your heart, just because you can chat with them on your computer or text them on your phone The fact is...I'm Here And you all, are There And I can't say it enough, that I miss all of you
