Here I am basking in the porch light,
Warming up my spot and a cup of cocoa on my right.
Minutes ago stepped on this porch and claimed back my life,
The same one I threw away, when I stepped out of the light.
Been two years after high-school when I up and left,
Cutting short the Eve’s dinner, leaving them all bereft.
A small chunk of life squandered on the road,
Now leaves me wondering, would there be any of mine left?
Been wanting freedom, been wanting wanton wants,
Yearning for my family now that growth’s at a stunt.
The driveway’s quite short, but the walk seemed so difficult.
In the foyer feeling the warmth, ignorance and pride now out with a bunt.
Stories were heard and tears were all shed,
Family’s all here and dinner is once again shared.
Presents in the morning? No, mine is here tonight.
Putting life back together now, with one big piece just gathered.
