That place we call home

This poem is dedicated to the new family of friends that I made while I was at Line Camp for college.

Four days,

four days of

no connection to

the outside world.

Four days with

nothing but conversations

and dating rumors

to pass the time.

Four days of

independence and

one of literal

Independence.

We saw the beginning,

we explored the creation.

We became one with the origins

of our new forever home.

We put those

jerseys and caps on and

we ate some

"Milk and Cookies".

We sang,

we danced.

We ate some Ice Cream

and we danced some more.

We fountain hopped,

We mountain topped.

Our mountain was getting

here to this moment.

Whether by blood line

or by God's grace,

we are all bound

to this one place

Now and forever

bound by

"That Good Old Baylor Line"

We walked in

as strangers,

We walked out

as family.

No one, nor

nothing will ever be

able to take that

away from us all.

As we all sit here,

less than two weeks

from move-in day,

two things are for certain.

We miss one another dearly,

and we absolutely miss our home.

They say that

"Home is where the heart is".

We all left our hearts

back at camp,

back at Earle Hall,

back at home.

That place we call home is where

our hearts are and will forever be.

That place we call home is

Baylor University.

I appreciate the way you have described so well about home.. "home is where the heart is..." sounds really great... Everyone has to stay like this, one way or the other, this really hurts to be away from home, away from heart... keep writing..
