Home

I love you more than the sun,

more than the rain,

more than air getting crisp

in the fall. I love you

more than them all.

I love you more

than the cricket in the weeds,

more than the craggy keep

on the shore. Above them all,

I love you more.

More than the wind

that lifts the birds from the sea.

More than the shelter

of a willow tree.

More than the stars

that kiss me goodnight.

More than a novel

by candlelight.

I love you more than my joy,

more than my sorrow,

more than my todays,

and all my tomorrows.

I carry you in my heart

even when I’m alone.

May our souls never part

from this place we call

home.
