No Place To Call Home
Deborah L Butts 1953 (Annapolis, Md)
No Place To Call Home
I knew a place that I once stayed
Of a love that wouldn't stray
A place to come and feel at home
With warm hugs never alone
But one day you went away
From this place I couldn't stay
And now here I am all alone
Wondering when you coming home
To this place we once shared
The two hearts that really cared
These memories of faded past
This pain I endure will always last
To this place I always knew
Oh how our love that only grew
Realize there will be no place
To hold you tightly with embrace
So as I travel this lonely path
Waiting the day to come to past
When no place to call my home
Is only where I slowly roam

About this poem
I lost my husband over a year ago. Still finding it hard at times. Been writing poems most of my life but never submitted them. This will be my first time
