A HOME
I never knew a home; Christmas, any holiday were words, merely words
Looking from the outside in.
A child, seeing lights, balls, trees, presents, but most of all: family life.
Warm feelings coursing me
A longing so unknown
A wish so deep, a wish to be
Only, I still don't
Winter used to be cold, inside and out. The house an unfriendly place
Feeling like a visitor
A child, craving warmth of family life. Belonging somewhere.
Silent words on paper form
A longing deeply seated
Inside all my feelings storm
Melting hearts, heated
This year I have a home; my sister embraces me to her house and her family.
No more outside, but in
For once, a child, and I can stay and I can celebrate and enjoy family life
Small tokens in my happy hands
Wrapping paper, tape, smiles
Christmas tree, love lands
Peace, after years of trials.
