[bodytext] => Homesick ~~~~ Sometimes after all these years My heart still sheds a tear To return to days of old When the world wasn’t so cold Back to when I was just a child With dreams running wild About the time when I was ten Oh how I wish I could go back again Growing up in that old farm town With my brothers and sisters around With mom and dad to keep us straight Offering guidance that was never late Life felt so much simpler and free When no one was depended upon me There were chores but there was fun As a family we got it done When every dinner was around the table Thanking God that we were able When TV time started no earlier then eight Ten o’clock bedtime with no debate There was no talking back or being smart With respect for our parents, who would have the heart? Sharing rooms and hand-me-down clothes That’s the way this story goes We never had extras nor did without Never asked for things when out –a-bout I never thought that we were poor But looking back, maybe we were My dad would work all he could And probably more then he should In later years it started to show And I cried when I watched him go One by one we all grew up And drank from the well with our own cup A close net family we’ve always been And I think of each one as a trusted friend As for my mother, she’s still around The very reason that keeps us sound I just saw her the other day And she still has that loving way We love to talk about years ago O’ how her stories full my soul Someday I’ll tell them to my son After his raising has been done [comments] => 6 [counter] => 186 [topic] => 23 [informant] => Jeff_Scott_Morehead [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )

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. ©
