Their Earthly Home

Their Earthly Home

by Bud Lemire on Oct 22, 2006

Halloween night at the tower, the wind’s blowing outside

While on the elevators, the residents ride

Going about their routine, all that is shown

Unaware of what’s going on, in the unknown

In the laundry room, eerie as it may sound

Former residents, now passed, all gather around

They have returned to what was once their Earthly Home

And it’s here on this night, that they like to roam

You may ask, what are they doing here

Harmless they are, yet still you may fear

They’ve come to the place, where they always belong

Their home here on Earth, now sung as Heaven’s song

But they don’t come here to scare

They return here, for it’s love that they share

But many of us take it all the wrong way

And never understand what they have to say

They see all of our pain and routine as being mundane

So you may believe you are going insane

But that’s not their agenda, that’s not their plan

They come around here, because they can

Remember the next time, that you encounter a ghost

They’ve returned to the place that they loved the most
