Kibbutz

I leave my family home on Homleigh Road. It has been a happy house full of fun and laughter My backpack is heavy but I’m happy to carry the load. My stomach churns as I look forward to my big adventure. Girls just wanna have fun ring in my ears. I wait for the bus to take me to the train station. My family wave me off with delight and cheers. I am at the airport nervous and excited. What waits for me at the other end who knows. We touch down in Israel oh what a blast. All I hear are loud voices and bellows. The heat is scorching I feel my face burning. I’m not worried as this is going to be overwhelming. I am here all grown up waving goodbye to my childish yearnings.
