San Francisco


Those city lights I watch; or, they watch me.
Each night they shine, and call us all to see;
Rising has been done, each day and each night,
I long to rise and join the distant light.
My warmth the winds must take as I depart,
            The miles and miles to travel ‘fore I start,
            A home awaits with love, laughter, good cheer;
            To me such things a dream can make appear.
            Who looks out th’ window of such a home,
            A blinking star in the night; as I roam,
            And search for life among the distant haze,
            Find there a pair of eyes to match my gaze.
