The home that I once knew
The home that I smiled and laughed
The home were I wept and cried
The many memories that I made
Are gone
I still remember the sunset from the roof
The colors melting into each other
The small view of the sea
The way the afternoon wind blows
And how the trees swayed to its mercy
All but a distant memory
But now it's empty
As quiet as a church mouse
Where there used to be laughter
Is now silence
Where there were faces
Is now emptiness
But that doesn't matter
For home is where the family is
But then if that's true
Then I have yet to go home
I have been so close
Only to have trouble come along
And push me farther away
All I ever wanted was to go home
Please help me find my way back
So I can laugh and smile again
To bring me back my safe haven
So please help me go back home
To my family

PoetryI poem that I wrote while I was in the drowning in homesickness. It's not that special really, we had to write a poem in Language Arts and this is what I came up with. I got inspiration from the homesickness I was feeling that day.
