Where is home?
Is it where you first loved
First played
First listened?

Is it where you were first hurt
Or where you first got into trouble?

Is it where you grew up
Climbing that old tree in the backyard
Until you fell down and broke your leg
But tried again the following spring?

Is it where you got your first crush
Or your first kiss?

Is it where you took your vows
Under that old tree in the backyard
Forever declaring your love for each other
In front of your friends and family.

Is it where your children now play
Chasing the dog around the yard
Where that old tree used to be
But is now gone?

Or is it simply, where your heart is?

You may only be one person to the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

Lexia,
I like the questions and the sentiment in this.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
