Home Sweet Home

You never know how much you’ll miss home until you’re away from it

The sounds, the smells
The comfort, the love

Everything you dislike, you’ll miss
Your siblings running around, mom shouting requests
Same meal over and over, leftovers for breakfast

You’ll visit and the sounds, the smells, the comfort, the love will overwhelm your heart
You’ll visit and your siblings running around, your mom shouting requests will fill you with joy
You’ll sit down for dinner for that old same meal over and over and it’ll warm your body

Take it all in while you can because you will miss it
Don't take it for granted, stay young for as long as you can
Home sweet home


The author's comments:

I was inspired to write this piece because I recently moved out of home and it was harder than I thought it would be. I just simply wanted to express that you will miss the little, irritating things. Don't take anything for granted. Stay young as long as you can.
