Coming Back Home

Craving to be back where I belong Only place my heart breaks into song Memories come flooding through my mind Imitating days I left behind. Nowhere in the world I'd rather be Guess that's why you're always home to me. Been to many places far and wide And I've missed your presence by my side. Catching planes and working till I'm through Killing time till I get back to you. Hope it won't be long before we meet Only you can make my life complete. Missing you each day that we're apart Even though you're ever in my heart. (I had a country-style tune in my head writing this with a pause of 3 extra beats at the end of each line) 27.02.21 Coming Back Home Poetry Contest Sponsor : John Hamilton

What a beautiful tribute to “coming back home!” There was a time where my husband had to life away for a particular job. We looked forward to spending time together. He would oft eat almonds, pecans, etc... so one night I dreamed there was a lazy susan on the counter filled with plentiful nuts. Was a wonderful dream.

Oh thanks for sharing this,Kim and for youir kind comment. It makes more sense if readers could hear the music running through my head as I wrote it but my singing voice isn't strong enough these days to record it.
