HOME

Life’s too short to worry about things that make you unhappy

You wonder why it’s all making you grumpy

It’s rainy and muddy

Oceans roaring and stormy

Mountains falling

In troubled waters drowning

Feeling like you are falling apart

Feeling like you are alone in debt

Seeking love

Seeking peace

Looking and searching

The cheating thought of finding

Gosh when is it gon’ stop

You scream and tear up

All ain’t lost

Life is a gift

You stop and think

You gaze into thin air and blink

Wondering

Winking

Meditating

Asking

Where is home?

That shoulder to lean on

The presence of hope when all seems to be gone

The blessings that you start to count

The love from the people around you

The phone call from your loved ones

That smile from a stranger

Warm clothes on a rainy day

Comfort food on a stormy day

That bowl of soup

That ice cream scoop

That tall glass of hot chocolate coffee with a touch of caramel

The chocolate bars

The well-scented flowers

Those snuggles and cuddles

Those warm fuzzy feelings despite your tribulations

That’s where home is!
