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

But was that home?
‘a house is not a home’
yet I still feel like I really miss

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,
