April

April comes down

She wants to be alive

Alive



Why can't I just talk to God?

What would I say?

God, I miss home

I miss it now



I miss my house

I miss my home

I miss my grade six love

I miss my health

I miss my home

I miss my grade six love



I miss the way that my mom smelled

I miss the way that she could cure any common cold you held

I would watch movies with my Dad before I knew his secret heart to know the loves that he has had

When I caught frogs in watered ponds

I woke to sound and not to noise as my neighbours worshipped God

I miss my house

I miss my home

I miss the heart that I had
