Childhood memories bring fun thoughts to mind,
Old friends, family, and innocent times.
Merry-go-rounds and wishes left behind,
Illusions, mimicking magic sometimes.
No other place feels quite as good as home,
Going away, but strengthens that feeling.
But nostalgia deadens desires to roam,
And tethers hearts to their place of healing.
Coming back home is the soul's comfort food,
Kindling flames that keep family fires lit.
Home is not a building; nothing so crude,
Oft fragmented, but not easily split.
More than anywhere else; it's where you’re loved,
Especially; for those that feel unloved.
(Acrostic/ Sonnet)
