My home

To Paris , the height of romance they say

To Rome to see a gladiator’s day

To Mexico to taste the hottest delights

To Alaska to see the Northern Lights

To Africa to see the animals roam

But nothing compares to what I call Home

To Scotland to hear those crazy bagpipes

To Ireland to see those Celtic types

To China to taste the exquisite cuisine

To England to see the home of the Queen

To the Caribbean Islands the spark to relive

Still none can compete with where I now live

Ok, so you query, just where is this place?

Is it somewhere maybe in outer space?

How can it be better than all of the rest?

Please tell me and I’ll be the judge of that test

The greatest place I have ever known

My belovèds arms are where I call home!

Author notes

I wrote this for my dear Vic for our 2 yr anniversary (mar 21) as this is something we say to each other often, that our 'home' is in each others hearts. It is mere coincidence that it fits one of the daily titles (Coming Home in this case) from this group:

This is inspired by the daily title in the group, Title Challenge Group:
