what i call home

 

I’ve lived around the world.

In fact I moved when I was 18,

I left my home and found another,

 

But was that home?

 

Layered bricks and walls with posters,

soft warm bed and candles lit by it

to make it

home-y,

 

But was that home?

 

‘a house is not a home’

my house, where my mom and my cat

are waiting patien...

Recipe for Reflection

I made dinner at 10:30 tonight.

Fried Kielbasa, macaroni and cheese, cinnamon applesauce, and 

buttermilk biscuits. It’s what I always eat when I’m missing home.

My Home

I was destined to meet you,

And yet I had no clue.

The true love that no power will destroy.

Together I want to travel the roads to Rome,

And forever make you my home...
