for David Ishaya Osu I. in my bones My bones feel hollow Like the bones of birds Though fortunately Bearing little weight So carry me through What little I do Little required of Them but life and love As I weigh the words That create my fate Aright if lightly My bones carry me Though what they carry Is temporary Life goes as love goes On who loves me knows So because someone Loves me I go on Love I feel in my Bones too real to die II. home I lost it all one day In fall when all was gone Though I was so went on Through death to life away Had to leave home behind Got it taken from me Thought I was homeless then Though home did not agree Not homeless I guess when On the edge of it all Where I am always now Home is a state of mind But near homeless somehow Though here now then again In fall when I recall How there it used to be Cost when I had to go My lost mind then to find By going through to know Now where I went is free Nowhere though everywhere Is home so I am there III. 58 OK Having gotten through to 58 OK All along a long way Me in the making I have been ages not So hot I forgot More often than not thought I ought to confess Confiding in you to Having been a mess But turning my learning Now in November Autumnally taking Time to remember Reconstructively what All in all in fall Got better after all The way out was in To now through never then Never better than late OK 58 Becoming 59 OK more or less No SOS I guess Coming along fine But learning by turning My teeth are not aching At least not today My head does not bother Me but brings other Things to mind I find now Brought me through then that Got through my head as how Love taught me somehow My heart is not breaking But shedding its skin Now or never when I live to love again +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXIII
