Who is this man
sleeping in my home?
Where has he
hidden the baby born in the bathtub
or the little
boy who slept in my bed until he was ten?
Where has he
hidden the frightened little child
who would only
be picked up by his dad during a snowstorm?
Where has he
hidden the 12-year-old second baseman for the Dodgers
or the punky kid
who got arrested for shoplifting?
Where has he
hidden the young man singing his Haftorah
or the excited
16-year-old getting his driver's license?
Where has he
hidden the high school graduate receiving his diploma
or the scared
college freshman on the first day of school?
They are all
living inside this man
who is sleeping
in my home.
