Homesickness

Homesickness is truly an awful feeling It’s an emptiness that needs to be filled It’s a sadness felt deep within one’s soul It’s a loneliness incomparable to any other It’s a yearning for the yesteryears of one’s life It’s a longing to be near missed loved ones It’s an emotion we all experience from time to time Homesickness is like being lost within yourself

Thank you. I realize I wrote this a couple yeas ago, but Homesickness really fits due to isolation caused by the COVID19 pandemic.
