Webster has about fifteen definitions

Residence, birthplace, a place of belonging

Home, a four letter word with meaning so deep

That even Mr. Webster couldn’t do it justice

Searched for, worked for, struggled for

Without which we are drifters, vagabonds on a journey-

Turning sometimes to drugs, gangs, hopeless debt, or depression

searching always for that enigma

When we finally find, or more accurately create---
