Array ( [sid] => 178670 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Home [time] => 2014-07-01 13:37:27 [hometext] => The title says it all. Usually I try to wait awhile between posts so that I can read more poetry, but the words to this compelled me to post. [bodytext] => From the time we''re born until the time we die
we are searching for that right place in life
We hope to find that place that we can call our own
A shelter from the shadows and the great unknown

And our hearts yearn for friendship and for that safe haven
Where we can be the ones we want to be

I''ll know it when I find it
Someone will call my name
No more living in a place of boundaries

It will be so familiar
what better place to be
Than the home I''m longing for determinedly

Take it from me I have been hoodwinked before
mistaking acquaintance for what I thought was home
It''s a disappointment jumping hurdles for
those who take advantage of the homeward call

It is no fault but my own for those mistakes
I must use common sense just a little more

I''ll know it when I find it
Someone will call my name
No more living in a place of boundaries

It will be so familiar
what better place to be
Than the home I''m longing for determinedly

Surrounded by loved ones who see me as I truly am
And long for us to be a family

Nice song and good sentiments.

We hope to find that place that we can call our own
A shelter from the shadows and the great unknown.



Good one.
