Where does my santuary lie?
It lies in a hot summer day,
out in the country, a big farm house,
a black lab, and a hound dog.

What does this santuary hold?
It holds childhood memories, both good and bad.
It holds two loving people who love everything and everyone.
These two loving people raised me.
They made me who I am today.

Why do I love this santuary?
Even though I can't visit this santuary,
I love someday, I will someday.
Or atleast visit the place where it once stood.
This santuary means the world to me.
The while farm house is my santuary.

This piece was inspired by a hard childhood filled with abuse and neglect, and the loving arms of an elderly couple that took me in.
