Home

Back tide water brings the swan back
Home.
Home is where the heart is.
Inside those four walls
Where papa smokes pipe
And mama keels the pot;
Inside those four walls
Where siblings play ayo
And visitors inform of market prices;
Inside those four walls
Where my girlfriend steals me a kiss
The moment grandma's back is turned;
Inside those four walls
Where my bed is covered with sheets
And my feet refuse to move.
Back tide water brings me back
Home.
Home is where the soul stays.
