Home, sweet home
All I ever dream for and beyond
Heart pounding, pulse rising
Contentment overwhelming the being
A sense of peace
The wonder of believing
that dreams do come true
The astonishment of seeing
that they really do
Once again I’m a small child
with wide open eyes
sparkling and shining like two stars
on the open sky of my happy face
A free spirit, a dreamer, a believer
Devoid of past and future
Honoring the present
Enjoying the magic jiffy
Counting blessings
Accepting the good
Home, sweet home
It is nice to be home

Oh Gabriela,
This is so inviting, lovely and nostalgic.
Thank you!
I know that feeling your poem brings it back vividly for me .
A note. I guess you meant to write 'like two stars' where you have written 'like two starts'. MSWord auto spell can do that to you. :-)
Gabriela this is so charming and beautiful....the view through a childs heart and eyes. I love it! :-)
A wonderful feeling, it sings with comfort and love.
Lovely and feeled with warmth and love...there is no place like home is there?...blessings..bkm
we should all cling to the feelings of that child...nice warm magpie!
The astonishment of seeing that they really do . . . how lovely this piece is!
You are so right in your appraisal of what being a child can be. Devoid of past and future . . .how true!
A sweet and gentle wistfulness in this poem!
I LOVE "enjoying the magic jiffy". Wonderful Maggie.
Your poem really resonates with me, Gabriela. I think to a large extent I never stopped being that child. Lovely.
What a sweet Magpie. I love these lines: "open eyes
sparkling and shining like two stars
on the open sky of my happy face>'
yes- there's no place like home!
There really is no place like home, especially that of one's childhood. Nice magpie.
Enjoying the magic jiffy...I love that line!
