this poem is for you...

To see a single light in the distance

is not the same as coming home.

To hear the voices calling your name

is no the same as being wanted.

To say you feel the pain that others feel

is not the same as suffering.

To see the face of one who isn't there

is not the same as being loved.

To hear the wind and the pounding rain

is not the same as riding the lightening.

To say that you hear me

is not the same as knowing what I mean.
