When I return
to a lonely house
at the end
of the day,
when the lamp
is lighted
and the sky
has gone gray,
and I kick off
my shoes
and sit in
my cozy chair,
my thoughts
find you,
and I yearn
to be there.
But even through
the loneliest night,
my heart will abide,
because I have
your love
to keep me
warm inside.
