I think I\'ll sit and stay for awhile.
I have no one awaiting my return to a warm and loving home.
No gentle embrace to calm the anxious thoughts that I have no choice but to face;
I have no sanctuary.
But to view the sanctuary of another -
To know that others have peace -
Today, that is a blessing.
Maybe tomorrow I will wallow in the sounds of love and laughter,
To think myself unworthy and shameful, dark and unknown.
But today,
Oh today,
I will take their peace as my own.
