It's an everyday yearning to reach home to people I love and care for; however when I reach home it is just a house and not home. It is lonliness beyond words and I just feel like being home.



I am coming home...


As I see the darkening sky
And birds flying to their nest
I can feel a tug in my heart
To go home and rest.

I long for my mother's lap
And the hearty laugh of my dad
As the sun falls below the skyline
This yearning makes me grow sad.

I long for the sweet quarrels with my sis
And the wise advices of my bro
As I see people happily going home
For home, my longing grows.

I long to walk through my garden
And play with my dear dog and doves
I long to sit near the kitchen fire
And bathe in the warmth of family love.

But as I step out into the crowded street
And look at the faces unfamiliar and my heart forlorn
I can feel tears welling my eyes
And O' I miss home.

I have stayed away this far
But now I want to be with people my own
I now am alone and I want to be home
Mom, Dad I am coming home.

This is very good.
No matter where one goes inthe world, there is never any place like home.

The longing for the familiarity of family is evident here, it definitely is "home" sickness. Well portrayed, as Nick mentioned, I hope you will treat us to a poem of the happiness of your homecoming soon.

You have captured the sense of homesickness very well Amy. A good family is a very precious commodity.
I look forward to the sequal.
Thanks, Nick
