Also Me

Also Me

Am I a foreigner or wanderer come home?

I’m embraced and slapped in a country I’ve long known

Israel’s not easy for an Anglo like me

But so many Israelis melt the harshness in me

A country that really is like it’s purported to be

Toughness with a kindness they dislike being told I see

I’m different I know in every category

But that’s been my soul everywhere from the time I was three

Sometimes I wonder where my home is

For I’ve never stayed long enough perhaps

My heart still floats like a searching bumble bee

But my life was saved here and now I’ve no place else to be

I don’t ask questions about existence

For that leaves you with endless curiousness

I accept we’re all part of Nature

And it’s love with passion that’s the best future
