Room

A room. Empty…except for a handful of boxes.

It’s dark…but looking closer you find frames

On the walls.

Old memories…smiling faces. Reminders of

A life that was.

She walks in. The pictures seem to light up.

She smiles as she thinks of those times…long ago.

In her hand,

She holds a watch. It’s old…attached to a gold

Chain…but still ticks faithfully.

Her heart is confused. Sorrow…joy…regret…

It’s been many years since she visited this place.

Her face is…

Uncertain. She loves this room…but it’s no longer

…home.

She closes the door and puts a key in the lock.

She doesn’t know if she should lock it…she may want

To come back.

But she’s certain that this room is her past.

It’s time to move forward.

She locks the door.

Home

She walks on the pavement,

A smile on her face.

But her eyes are averted--

She's homeless . . .



She sees on the walkway

A friend hug another.

But her heart is unmoved--

She's lonely . . .


She's sees in the woods

A couple in a moment

But her eyes they role up--

She's longing . . .


She feels in her soul

A longing to live.

But she can't grasp His hand--

She's desperate . . .


She opens her heart

And her soul starts to sing . . .


She opens her mind

And her thoughts start to soar


She opens her will . . .

And His love fills her up . . .


She's home.
