Why I Must Stay, That Is

The question of the day is:
Would you rather go or stay?

I have always suffered from homesickness.
As I pondered today's writing prompt I began to have an understanding of why that is.

Why I Must 

Stay, That Is

My sign is Cancer,  I like to stay

  inside my shell, that is.

I wonder why I can't go away

  away from home, that is.

I seem to always want to go

  back, that is.

By that I mean that I don't like to stay

  away, that is.

Once it was too scary

  to be away, that is.

 I had to stay

 for my mother, sister and brother, that is.

When I finally went

  away, that is.

There was a  new one

  to take my place, that is.

And then she had to stay

  for her mother, brother and sister, that is.

He told me he needed me

  to stay, that is.

And I found that I could not go

  away, that is.

When it was time for him

  to go, that is.

He left her

  all alone, that is.

She told me she needed me

  to stay, that is.

And I found I could not go

  away that is.

When it was time for her

  to go, that is.

She left me

  all alone, that is.

When he told me it was not time

  for him to go that is.

I cried for I knew that he could not

 stay, that is.

He knew that I would

  not go, that is.

For once again I had to stay

  for the mother, brother and sister, that is.

I have created a page for Anna's Diary.  It can be found under the Tab titled Anna's Diary.

I have posted all of the entries to date there, starting with January 1, 1929.

Here is today's entry from Anna's Diary

Friday March 15, 1929

To N.Y. to shop for Gladys' coat.  She bought two one for Sunday another for school.  Today is my Michaels birthday. Thirty-one years of age and gone forever.  Went to church to say a Rosary for his soul.

[Now we know that Anna is a young widow.]
