And another one from Ken

If it were not so,
would I have told you
that I go to prepare a place for you?

A belonging place
of warm snugglings, clean
soap smells and gentle claspings.
A trusting place,
where secrets and shamings
are whispered with confidence,
without fear.
A friending place,
welcoming and encouraging
the unexpecting stranger.
A quieting place
where the agitated soul
is surprised by givings of peace.
A crying place
of healing tears, and sighings.
A truthing place
of open eyes and useful pain.
A laughing place
where joy is full
and the camaraderie great.
Yes,
this is the place.
