Johnny Came Home Today (Written Feb. 27-2009)2

Life throws constant curve balls.
You can never be sure where they will fall
Reach left, reach right, they fool all the time
You never know what will be the right call.3

There is something deep, deep inside me
It stirs me, moves me deep down below
It lets me know when I meet another lost soul.

I cannot defend every weak person on earth
Or justify anyone elses welcome or worth.4

All I know is what stirs in my soul
When I communicate with another lost soul.5

God forgive me for dwelling on my own little world
Full of pity and angst wanting more than I need
If I could realize I am enough for me
I could then fulfill the needs on many.6

Please help me now. You have opened my eyes.
I can hear the sound of others’ suffering cryes.7

Thank you, for giving me listening ears
and a heart that wants to end someone elses tears.8

Only this way will I walk tall and proud
Knowing I have helped someway, somehow.9

Johnny came home today, he is tired.
He has been through the ringer; he is still rather wired.10

I love this boy that is now forty-five.
He and I are glad we’re both still alive.11

I will provide a place for him to rest in peace.
If only shortly, he will feel at ease.

He is family in a long friendship way.
He has come back home, I want him to stay.12

My heart breaks for the pain he’s been through the last while
I didn’t know, I was  involved in my own trials.13

Oh, Johnny, please heal, please stay for awhile.
We will get through this together until the last mile.14
