not where you start,
where you end
not what you break,
what you mend.

not what you harm,
where you heal
not what you have,
what you feel.

not where you’ve been,
where you roam
not where you live,
but home.

Never mind Papua New Guinea; this rings loud and clear in Somerset, England. Profound and a great write.

Great write.

Here's to my home San Diego, and my long ago roots in New York.
Mend, heal, feel, roam, home…There's no welcome like a familiar landmark.
The only place where you are not a stranger.
You have said it so well, that I am missing the subways! Thank you for bringing back the moment.

I should probably quote the lyrics from a song that go
"It's not what you do it's the way that you do it, and that's what get results"
Results here indeed...very insightful

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
