Christmas eve 2013

I never came "home"
That place is gone
Because I changed
Because home changed
There's no going back
That woman is gone
That family is gone
That life is gone
I have a different "home"
Different woman
Different family
Different life
I'm finally "home"
With her
May we all find "home"

Nice! finding a home on which your heart embrace is always a rare find. It is good to hear that you've found one after all the hard times. Keep it good my friend, very nice piece.

Frieda, is this really a comment from you? I know this is not my poem, but I had to say hello! I have missed you. Lydi**

[Baby Ricochet]

Frieda!! (Big hug and kiss) It's truly a joy to hear from you again. I do hope you're back with your wc family and everything worked out in the real world for you okay. I really miss you.

[Frieda P]

Jazzed Baby, thank you, glad to be here, taking it day by day, or sometimes moment by moment, I'm sure you get that. Have missed you too! xo

[Frieda P]

...and yes Lydi, I think it's me, sometimes I can't tell, thanks for such a warm welcome.

Baby steps love. Baby steps.

To define home. Home is where the heart is. So many changes in life change the perception of home. To really find home is a gift.

Nicely done.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you troy

Nice wish still a bit of nostalgia but then I am probably inputting my own emotion into your piece.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Jane

[Lydia Shutter]

As life goes on, our concept of "home" changes along with its location. Home is really a state of mind and if you have found it, you have found your serenity. Simply written with a powerful message. I liked it a lot. Have a happy healthy new year. Lydi**

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Lydia. Happy New Year

[Lydia Shutter]

Same to you!

[Daniel Sala]

Lovely poem, a thoughful piece and a nice wish for others. Home is where the heart is, eh. Different to your other pieces but equally well-written and a pleasure to read.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Daniel

Mark, I remember finding THAT one out the first time I went home on leave... what a b***h it was, All the little things that didn't mesh and the edges that kept being rubbed. Was a long time before I ever went there again - and no one really understood why I didn't, cept me.

[Baby Ricochet]

For sure. Thanks for stopping by Chris. I appreciate it.

[Chris]

I'm glad you're here to stop by for Mark. Take care
