Home

I wrote this while serving in the Peace Corps and after having moved around a lot as a kid growing up - and since then as an adult. 

HOME
Where is my home? What is my home? 
I look for it now, but can’t find it. 
Home is not a place, 
Nor something I see.
Home is a feeling.
It is abstract. Intangible.

Home is where my family is.
It is where my friends are.
It is where we all feel comfortable.
It is where I can see myself, 
Where I feel accepted. 

Home is here. 
Home is where I am.
Home is a state of mind.
Home is a state of being.

Welcome home. 

What is home to you? 

Thanks for reading!

    Beautifully written. I think home is where you are yourself, without pretending a bit
