Homesick

Homesick
My heart floats home with the crackling leaves
It flies away with the migrating ducks
It rattles along on an old lonesome train
My heart rises with the fog of a tranquil pond in a pasture
It settles in at the dinner table of my childhood home
Ready for a nice steak dinner with my family

My heart floats to the same place, Marie. If only we could go back! I can relate to this feeling, dear. Love, Carolyn
