A Little Place I Call Home

Thinking of home.

 

Looking back on yesterday
my mind begins to roam
Images of kids at play
in a little place I call home

Smear McGoo on a vacant lot
Swimming at Pete's Bend
Sledding down the college hill
with several of my friends
 

We'd knock on doors and run away
put lightning bugs in a jar
Swim the street on a rainy day
ride to church in the trunk of a car

No matter where I travel now
however far I roam
I know I carry within me
a little place I call home

By Randy Camp

Randy,
This poem brought me back to my childhood. I use to put lightning bugs in a jar too! There were 8 kids in my family, I have tons of good memories of us playing baseball in front of our house, picking blackberries for Mama to make a cobbler, so many days I relive. Thanks for sharing this poetry, Randy.

Many blessings,
~Linda

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
