As a child I remember, moving every few years,
I was happy in my home!
Relocated to a new city at a young age, to be with people I love,
I was happy in my home!
Went to many a different school, grooming myself for new environments,
I was happy in my home!
Spent many a younger year, making new friends to last through my years,
I was happy in my home!
Friends and neighbors, became my chosen extended family,
I was happy in my home!
Left my homeland, to further my education and career,
I felt uprooted and alone!
To lay a foundation for our new family, we bought a house,
I felt uprooted and alone!
Decorated it with love, to make it feel like my home,
I felt uprooted and alone!
With every life’s success, I added touches to make the place my own,
I felt uprooted and alone!
Each time, I tried to make the house, feel like my home,
I felt uprooted and alone!
Took me all my adult years of missing it, to understand,
Home was never a place…
That feeling of kinship, that comes from deep within,
Home was never a place…
Love, loyalty, laughter and a safe harbor you can always trust,
Home was never a place…
No judgements on, who you are, what you say or do,
Home was never a place…
The people, with whom you, your mind, heart and soul belongs,
Home was never a place…
