Whether you return after the day is done
To a warm bed and a meal
Or to a place where no-one goes
Where the world outside does not seem real
You should always know you have a home
You have a place where you are valued
A space in which you and your life exist
Where it would not be the same without you
Your impact on this world is not based
On what you have acquired
But those that you have interacted with
The lives you have inspired
The people who will remember you
Long after you have departed
The lives that you have helped to grow
And the change that you have started
Your story is what ties you here
It’s what’s leads you to where you’re going
It’s what drives the choices that you make
And helps you to keep going
So don’t give up; you’ve much to give
You’ve a story left to write
Tell it with courage, love, and kindness
Through the day and through the night
I loved your poem.

Home & homecoming is a cherished memory after a long travel and going back home gives us a pleasant and peaceful feeling and we can’t find it even on a holiday trip .. the enthusiasm we feel going will be more while we are returning home 👍😊

You are quite right, Srikanth. There is no feeling quite like being home. Home means many things to many people, but I feel like, at the core, it is a place where we belong.

Home is where the heart and memories are. Its a place you feel more at ease than anywhere else. Its where you can be yourself. This is beautifully penned Jason! 😊
