Truth of Home

I’ve been away from home.
I need to end my roam.
I’ve been on many flights.
I’ve seen so many sights.
I’ve been to many lands,
And walked on different sands. 
No land or soil did I enjoy,
As home was all my love and joy.
I thought my folks were home to me,
And all that I would want to see.
As time went by, and I advanced in years,
I came to floods of sighs and tears.
And knew my soul would only rest,
At home where love is deeply felt.
