Home to me is the place where I grew up. My memories
always take me back to the fun times of my child hood,
of the innocent curiosity of a child.
Home to me is where my roots are, the life that shaped
me into who I am. The freedom living on a farm gave
me to explore the woods that surrounded the farm.
Home to me is learning to be responsible for what you
do and be proud of it. Of doing something and doing it
right the first time.
Home is the responsibility of sharing the chores and
learning to work together as a team
Home was a feather bed I slept on in the winter time
because you kind of sunk into it and stayed warm
Home was climbing trees, walking in the woods or
across the field.
Home was the smell of ground freshly turned with a
plow and walking barefoot in the furrows when my
uncles were plowing the land with a mule
Home was family gatherings on Sunday or a fish fry
down at my grandads pond
Home is happy memories of play and work with my
brother and sister and cousins
Home is remembering how cute baby animals are and how
mad momma gets if you make one holler
Home was going in the woods to find a Christmas tree
and bringing it home, we always got a holly tree with
red berries
The home I use to know belongs to someone else now and when I go by there its not the
same. So much has changed over the years
But still there is a spot that makes me remember, an
old live oak, or maybe a tree or bush that we planted,
a special place that we used to play
But no matter how many changes are made to the home
place, my memories are unchanged.
My parents have another house now and its nice but I
never really had any roots there so its not home.
My home now is where I live with new memories
