The pain is worth it
If it takes you back
20, 30, 40, 50 years
Or more.
I cry when I pass
The home that I
Was raised in knowing
That I’ll never see
Inside again.
Mom and Dad raised
Us there through the
Good and through
The bad.
I want so much to
Feel young again
And to play the games
That I once loved.
But mom and dad
Are gone now and
My siblings have
Moved away.
So I just sit in my car
Feeling empty deep
Inside where the love
And the pain both
Reside.
