A Christmas Poem

Take me, take me, home,

Wherever home may be,

Oh, take me.

Or toss me, toss me,

in the deep blue sea.

Just toss me.

Could I stand upon a mountain?

Could I look for the end of the sky?

Could I find the safest place

that could ever be?

I've been upon a mountain.

I've looked for the end of the sky.

I've seen that one safest place,

hold no poetry.

Let me, let me, tug

the string between you and me.

Yes, tug too,

so we know, we know,

the connection;

I am you as you are me.
