The day is quickly
fading away
Work is done and so
is my play
Eyes heavy, lids drooping
slipping off to sleep
Hoping sweet dreams will be
mine to keep
Smiling as starlight twinkling
cool and bright
Sighing sweetly as the world
seems right
What could ever be as beautiful
to the heart
Or to hopes and dreams a more
important part
Someday contentment, joy will be
ours alone
And wherever we are will be
home sweet home

HELLO MELODIES
Thank you so very much!'s I had this very home way back when I was young. But as one grows older they try to move on to find a family and home all of their own. Mine has fallen away from me and now I find myself yearning to go back to that area where I had roamed happy and free so long ago.

A lovely beautiful write
Hallo dear Pure heart, a lovely sincere write, I'm sure for many of us, the days do seem to go way to fast, as if there are not enough hours in the day.
Then when we sit down for five minutes to unwind, instead we slip off to sleep. The night is a lovely time and all us poets seem to come online and say hallo to the dear friends who share our heart felt interest, a pleasent enjoyable time talking and sharing poems with dear friends.
It is a time we all share our heart felt feelings with eachother, a nice time of friendship, and association with ones whose writes find a place in our hearts, as does yours, in the many friends who find joy in the words you write.
I know dear Pure Heart that you are writing this from a different perspective, but just to let you know your words are refreshing and comforting and that your words bring joy to many on line. Always tastefully written and delightful to read, thank you for sharing dear friend.

HELLO MINOO
Thank you ever so much for stopping by to read. I had this when I was a little boy back home. I did however go out and attempted to make a new home in a new place. I did for a while but now I am not in my home and yearn for those days of quiet in and solitude back near my home area. I will get there again someday.
