One Day Closer
One day closer to home A long hard journey continues Early morning -- I’m on the road Carrying myself across slow miles Late evening -- I stop to rest My feet are sore from walking My mind is numb from thinking… Or trying not to think I lie beside the road And sleep away the darkness It is a tired dreamless sleep This is a blessing What a huge disappointment it would be To be home in my dreams Only to awaken just one day closer.
