Coming Home Virginia Salter Could my own cooking have been this fine before? Was the grass ever this green? Did the cats ever want to cuddle so? And my bed, did it ever gently hold me in quite this ecstasy? My rut, was it ever such a comfortable, predictable routine? Could “Home Sweet Home” have been this succulent? Traveling now seems to be a dream until the photos hit the scene to prove that I really did all those things in those far away places. © July 11, 2000 |

Thanks, all! It never ceases to amaze me, when I return home, that I was, just hours ago...in another place doing many other kinds of things not available to do in our little town, but slowing the pace, snuggling one's own pillow and even experiencing, again, one's own cooking can be lovely! |

As one who spends much time as a road musician, I know and felt all these things that you wrote about here......this poem is like a part of me, and to anyone that has spent much time away from home, it will be appreciated!!  The road goes on forever, and the stories never end... |

Thanks, Sunnyone, I'm sure you, perhaps better than many, would know the joy of coming home. |

Very nice! It reminds us that even though we are always dying to go on a vacation...it's always great to come home! Cindi God is our inspiration; Words of the heart can be music to our ears |
