Safe Harbor

In the time that came before
The placed I called home
An image of tranquility
In this place I found peace
My existence thrived
When I belonged
Among people who understood
What my life became
Where there was no shame
A place to call home
When I came on my own
This land of the living
Embraced my soul
In this place I again
Found my heart
So that was the time
Where I came before
My life was good
In this place where I stood
