Can You Go Back Home

Time never stands still; the changes take place
that’s how it is, running the human race

the longer you wait; the farther you roam
these reduce chances of going back home

Home is more than a place; not just a word
Home is memories of things that occurred

including tastes, sounds, emotions and fears
Collected throughout your growing up years

As times moves on, what was home disappears
Things are different after all those years

You can return home every now and then
When your sentence starts with “Remember when?”
