I DID post this in Reflections on the web, and I know we're not supposed to post the same poem in more than one forum, but more people know my work here. Sorry if it caused anyone trouble.

I've journeyed far and wide
Looking for something I couldn't find
And now Im going home.

I'd run so far away from there
That I thought I would never want to return
But now I can't wait to reach the door.

Yesterday I didn't miss it
Today I can't wait to reach it
And tomorrow I'll be happy
Because now Im going home.

I'll always keep in my memory
The things I've seen in the wide world
Beautiful and inspiring and so different in their turn
But I'll love them more when I reach home.

When I saw all these impressive sights
I knew something was missing,
Something not quite right
And now I know I was missing my home.

I've journeyed far and wide
Looking for something I will soon find
Because now Im going home.

Feel free to post the poem here a second time, in order to share it with friends who might not see it in Reflections (though they should visit there, too!), but you cannot submit it twice for publication. Obviously, we're not going to publish the same poem twice in the same book and you're just competing with yourself by trying.

Bela: *grins* Thank you! Im glad you like it so much! I submitted this one for the book in hopes that the majority could relate to it.

Ron: Oops, did putting it here mean I submitted it for publication twice? That wasn't my intent, thank you for the comment.
