Random Thoughts 7: Military Kid

I am from nowhere
And everywhere
My home is with the open road
And the setting sun 
On the horizon of the Pacific

This poem is a beautiful reflection on the unique experience of a military kid, and as a "brat" myself I can relate. The opening lines "I am from nowhere / And everywhere" are a perfect way to express that feeling of constant motion. The imagery of "the open road" and "the setting sun" is both poignant and hopeful.
