Homewards

What makes four walls a home ?

A feeling of being enough is home

A view over the streets, trees and other balconies makes it a home

Your morning tea and newspaper makes it a home

Your husband’s hands surprising your shoulders makes it a home

Your child, watching him sleep is home

His doodles on the walls makes it a home

The doorbells when your child returns makes it a home

The comfort of the familiar bed makes it a home

Home is the first friends your child makes

You age, you grow, the changes make it a home

When your child goes away to find life, leaving an empty nest, what still remains a home is a home

Wherever you go in the world, whatever you become and whatever life brings to you, your favourite journey will always be Homewards
