After 23 years I have returned to the home of my youth--the place where my children were born, and where I become the early version of who I am today.

 


 


The blanket of snow in the yard is a welcome mat to me.


It brings my heart joy I never thought to see


As I wasted away in a place where I didn’t want to be.


 


The frosty air that greets me is a reminder of the past


Of a time when I was young and thought my happiness would last


Until I closed my eyes and into glory passed.


 


Nature’s beauty now surrounds me and I appreciate it with eyes new


Because I’m in is a place where joy dwells and troubles are just a few


A place where I can be me and friendships are true


 


I have come back at last to reclaim the peace of mind


That I had lost while roaming into what adventures I could find


Yes, I have finally come home to retrieve the joy I left behind.

Blest are those that can understanding the importance of a home

This is a Beautiful composition of true emotions and wise thoughts.

Very inviting.

"I have come back at last to reclaim the peace of mind
That I had lost while roaming into what adventures I could find
Yes, I have finally come home to retrieve the joy I left behind."

Such a wonderful resolve.
