Home

I am from the bird that calls me aside,
the sun shone through my bright bedroom window.
In the home, my heart will always confide,
my head into the soft white pillow.

I am from the tears my sweet mother bore,
when I grew older and walked out the door.
The bright sun- I will always miss,
The soft white pillow is gone, it's dismissed.

I was a child and now I'm more.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
