I'M. Home Poem by Carl Joseph Roberts

I'm Home

I got a new place today
And I did this without you
Turned the key and unlocked the door
And saw an empty room

The empty room reminded me
That although you won't be here
I'll have a chance to fill the room
With memories I'll hold dear

I will paint the walls with colors
Bright and pleasing to my eyes
Cover up past pain and hurt
Now knowing I'll survive

I can look out each new window
Or look in and see the view
And never see a memory
Of the Time I spent with you

I will hang my pictures on the walls
Let your memory fade from view
And rearrange my future
To allow for something new

This new place I have will be a home
Where new memories will be made
And it all began when I turned that key
As I walked in today... I'm Home
