Home is where the heart is.

Missing image

Going home could be miles away

Taking hours of much needed time

in this briskly modern world...

 

But for me it just takes a thought

to roam through everyroom of happy

where Mummys kisses and daddys hugs

Wait with open arms.

 

I hear,  I feel,

and smell that residual love

that was the motar between each brick

upon which a foundation of respect was built.

 

I see the old fireplace

and that blazing fire

sending out a warmth

that still touches my heart...

 

and on the mantel

our old clock told no time

and the flowers were still fresh

with the fragrant scent of memories.

 

 

Home is surely where

the heart is...

as  long as I have a heart

then i'll always go home.

    I not only felt the deep love for your home but also a healthy dose of pride. I like this a lot. You have quite the talent for weaving creatively connected ideas and simply write beautiful. There is a gentle power in this that easily pulls the reader into it. Very nicely written. Keep that quill handy and ever ready for use!

    with love to you
