For Those Who Suffer About Going Home
By Don Iannone

Home
...where we supposedly
...live most freely
...and find our deepest peace and comfort.
Family
...those closest to us
...who supposedly
...care most about us
...and would do nothing to hurt us.
Love
...that which is supposedly born
...in all of us
...and is supposedly
...given freely to us
...by those closest to us.
Why then
...does it hurt so much
...for some of us to go home?
Why then
...do we feel so lost and afraid
...when we try to find our way home?
Why then
...is it so hard
......to find peace and love
.........when we try to go home?
There are always reasons.

PS: It's important for all us to make peace
with our pasts. It's important to forgive
ourselves and others. It's important that
we release ourselves and feel at home in
our life whenever and wherever we are.
If these things are important in your life,
may this poem touch you in some small
way and help you find the peace you have
so long desired.
