The next stop is the one I've waited for so long, So eager now to see the smiling folks back home, For memory now plays an old well-known love song, Ever drawing one back, no matter where they roam. So eager now to see the smiling folks back home, And to frequent all the places that I used to go! It ever draws one back, no matter where they roam, Like honeycomb draws bees, toward golden tomorrow. And to frequent all the places that I used to go, I'll surely take the pleasure of a prolonged visit. Like honeycomb draws bees toward golden tomorrow, Skies tell the late hour, when stained and vivid! I'll surely take the pleasure of a prolonged visit, For memory now plays an old well-known love song. Skies tell the late hour, when stained and vivid, The next stop is the one I've waited for so long!

I often want to go back to the house where I spent my childhood and enjoyed. When I last visited before covid, I had similar thoughts. Well penned. Really enjoyed reading this. Thanks
