i walk and i sleep
here in the midst of your memories
i live and i breath
in the home my mother raised me
in the place i yearned to be free from
how i wanted to run from
i find myself living
i find myself praying
for understanding
for Your peace Lord
for Your comfort
in my grief
in my soul
in my living
day to night to day again
this getting used to this world without you
here within this yard
i water and i prune
here in the midst of beauty
i ponder the loneliness and presence of you of me
in the house of my mother
a child has come home to grieve
here within the heartache
i know you are in His glory
as i am home again
as i learn to live again
here with these walls
here within His peace
