Finding Our Way Home . . .

 

 

 

We all wonder

 

Aimless and wanting

 

Seeking not knowing

 

Searching for home

 

 


Bumping we acknowledge each life

 

Embracing we become strong

 

Hand in hand we continue

 

Searching for home



 

We all wonder

 

Purposeful and yet guided

 

Horizon to horizon

 

Finding Our Way Home . . .

So much truth to this. Everyone is looking for "home." Yet home can be on the inside--our heavenly home.
Matt,
I haven't been on much lately and you're one that I check in with. I hope you all are doing a little better - regards to Leslie too. I can't even imagine how hard this is for you, but for all of your family and friends - or even friends here, join hands with us and we'll be stronger because of it.
Hugs,
Marilyn

Your poem inspires thought about where home really is. Even without any religious connotations, some of us have a vague, but powerful longing to return to a dimly remembered warm, safe place where we were loved unconditionally and loved others in return.

Emmett Thanks I liked your poem.
Good job.

I loved this. I loved the possitive understanding of the pain and gain in the search for our definition of HOME. I felt your warmth. Jeanne

Emmett, I am glad you remember that no matter how lost we get we do finally find our way home. Your poem expresses that very nicely.
