When Someone's Home

How fortunate is one who says
                 I know there’s someone home
Who knows that they are not alone
                     Wherever should they roam

To even have a home at all
                      To know its boundless love
Is worth the riches of a king
                          With nothing else above

How fortunate is one who has
                       Still with them to this day
The many who have meant so much
                   Much more than one can say

I’m sorry for the loves I’ve lost
                  For those who share my grief  
Forsaken in an empty house
                            Sometimes in disbelief  

And yet we all know someone’s home
                 Though this world they depart
The heavens for us all await  
                        And therein lies our heart
