Home

I'm here today, so far away,
From the place that I call home.
My heart is heavy, my soul is grey,
As I wander and I roam.

The sights and sounds around me,
Are different than what I know.
The people, food, and language,
Make me feel so alone.

I miss the comfort of my bed,
The familiar sights of the street,
The smell of my mother's cooking,
And the friends that I used to meet.

I long to hear my dog's bark,
And my father's reassuring voice.
I miss the sound of laughter,
And the comfort of having a choice.

But here I am, so far away,
Trying to make it on my own.
But no matter where I go or what I do,
I can't shake the feeling of being alone.

So I close my eyes and think of home,
And I let the memories flow.
I remember the love I've felt,
And the joy I used to know.

And even though I'm far away,
I know that home is where my heart will stay.
And one day soon, I'll be back again,
In the place where I belong.
