Tell Us The Truth.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

welcome back
my friend you have come
home again

this is home
this is our beautiful home
the flowers know your name
the bushes miss your hair
the trees keep talking
about you

we miss you from this glass
to the teapot
we have heard a lot about
your past
the present blurred that
much

now sit with us
let us sip coffee and have our
cookies
the ones that we love when we
were once children at heart

you belong to us
tell us the truth.
