"A home without a wall,
Our haven without ends,
A circle we all call
Our Family of Friends!"

Home.
What is in that word?
I wonder if I'm welcome here
from the BS that I've heard.

I got my family
I got my friends
I know who each of you are...
sad the way it ends.

I could say goodbye
but it wouldn't be right
you are in my heart
and you are my light.

You know who you are.

Home isn't home, too far.

you know who you are and you know my love.
Thank you for your support and reaching out...
when a time of mine is only sorrow
and leaving, living, amid this doubt

I know you understand and "get it"
and the ones who turned their backs, that's fine.
I am okay with all that and I will live
with the pain they don't see, their design.

And saying goodbye wouldn't be right.

sometimes being a real friend means saving the judgement for another time...and just being there, listening and caring. I don't always agree with you lol but that has nothing to do with being your friend.

Holding out my hand when you need it, is.

Yo dear Passing shadows,

As Bones and I have said many time--

"Home is where the hat is."

i.e. it's all in the head.

Love bobby

How hard was that to write?

Not hard, and I can tell you feel it too.

Hang in it's only the past and what's it worth?

but you penned it well.

Keep the chin up and good luck.
