I find comfort in the presence of those I hold dear,
A place where laughter and joy are always near.
But when I return to the place where I lay my head,
The atmosphere can sometimes feel like a bed of lead.
The words that are spoken, they cut like a knife,
And the stress begins to take its toll, day and night.
I search for a way to find peace within,
A place where I can let my spirit begin.
And then I remember, the ones who make me smile,
They are the light that banishes my fear for a while.
So I'll hold on to the memories we've made,
And find strength in the love that we've shared.
I'll focus on the positive, the good, the true,
And know that happiness is always within view.
