Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Home Is Where the Heart Is

Home is where the Heart is
  by Robert J (Bob) Moore (c) 2020

Home is where the heart is, I’ve heard many people say
but I find that I leave my heart, in many places along life’s way 
My heart is in the land of my birth and in the land which I now know
with relatives I’ve have never seen, as through life’s stream I flow

Cousins I may never meet Aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces
both here, and a land across the sea carry my hearts little pieces
and my closest family hold large parts of my heart
I know how much this love will hurt, when that day comes to part

Places we have lived in, and memories we have of them
times gone, of joy and happiness, a life which we lived then 
Home, is not where the heart is, the heart is where you’ve been
the people you have known and loved, the places you have seen 

The heart is with the life you’ve lived, things done along the way
each step you left a little bit, and one day you may say
I knew them, and I loved them, and they meant the world to me
all my friends and relatives, and my loving family
