“Poetry is one way to escape, without leaving home.” -Poet Home is made with tender loving care, A broad beaming smile and a tear here or there. It’s a treasure chest that holds secrets kept secure. To family and friends there’s a revolving door. Loving people where conversation is a must. Built with encouragement, loyalty and trust. Home isn’t really a place, it’s more of a feeling. It’s nice to be there if you are in need of healing. It’s the smell of good cooking, and a sense of pride. Shelter from rain and warmth when its cold outside. When guests arrive, don’t mind the weather, All will be good because we are now together. Whether it’s a mansion or a home quite plain, It’s the comfort of your own pillow to be home again. It’s the keeper of memories over the years. Home reflects fun and laughter to dispel any fears. Adventures lead you to magic and it’s fun to roam. Your heart tells you when it’s time to come home. Have you ever noticed when looking for a place to stay, You choose a place that is most like home, when away. Its fine to have ambition and chase your dreams, But always know the way home, if it isn't what it seems When young we want to leave, a wanderlust attack. We grow old, it’s our home, we just want to get back.

Your words are imbued with eloquence and compassion. The Talmud reminds us that one who lives alone has God for a neighbor. When asked by TV host James Lipton how he expected God would greet him, Mathiew Broderick replied, "Welcome home." As a boy growing up in Texas, Patrick Swayze was an anomaly; a tough kid who took dance lessons. A civil rights activist, he refused to star in Ghost unless Whoopie Goldberg had a major role. He reacted to his pancreatic cancer with courage and grace. RIP

Oh yes Robert, think people who live alone have an even stronger sense of home, and no doubt invite conversation in so many ways, not the least being during prayer to God. I also agree that Patrick Swayze had principles, declining millions to make a TV ad or sponsor his own brand of cologne in preference he needed to fine tune his acting career. Thank you for your wonderful comment to my poem

Poetry offers a remarkable avenue for escape, all while remaining within the confines of one's own abode. Your elegantly constructed poem, dear VS, is a captivating and pleasurable read, evoking a sense of wonder and contemplation. It beautifully celebrates the essence of interpersonal connections, where engaging conversations play an indispensable role. This composition is a testament to the power of encouragement, loyalty, and trust, which form the sturdy foundation upon which love thrives.
