Poem
Memories dance across our minds Day to day memories surround Stand and look at scenery that astounds Jolting us into times gone by. Family, closely followed by places you visit Always with our forever friend. Other memories jump the queue Land of your birth waits to welcome you. Returning for a visit long overdue Journey, long and arduous. Arrival, brings a smile to our faces Bridge in view, brings homesick feelings. Onward, onward, signs point the way Arrival at birthplace, causes laughter Families, friends, all waiting eagerly Visits, mealtimes all sorted early. Where to start, planning is a pleasure Visit haunts that were treasures. Breathe the air, so joyful to be here Now, time to start that fateful journey. Where you started childhood Does the home still exist? Always a welcome on your return Other visits, lots of sadness. Stand there looking at concrete and brick ruins Memory banks start a slide show. You just sit back as memories wash over you Voices, laughter, fills the void. Faces appear clear as day If only you could touch and have your say. Time to turn and walk away Sadness presses itself upon you. Bump into long lost friends, hugs, and kisses Hold on tight to your forever friend. Leaving this place, your heart it aches Back to where your future called. Another bridge, clearly seen from the air Your other Country wants to welcome you.
