My Home Town

M-issing my hometown like we own familiarity 
Y-ou can close your eyes to reality

H-ome is where my heart shines
O-ld photos trigger memories
M-emorablia and keepsakes frozen
E-motions running high and free

T-ime for wistful affection for the past
O-ld gnawing feeling released
W-hen you embrace familiar faces
N-ew stories told in an old setting.
