keeper of my soul
once a long time ago
I had a friend she told me
that I gave enough of myself
to those around me
that someone needed to be
the keeper of my soul
so she prayed for me
and sometimes made me
home cooked meals
she even set me up on a date once
she was the wife of my friend
and she was a gentle part of life
she was the keeper of my soul
in recent times
I have felt adrift
surrounded yet solitary
looking for my hearth
my heart
my home
I am loved without question
yet I have no keeper
I live uncertain not knowing tomorrow
I have a need for home
I miss having a soul’s keeper
