Home is:
…safe inside his strong arms
…a heavy head on my shoulder
…doing dishes together on the phone
…knowing I am always welcome there
…not a place, but a feeling
…where the heart is-really.
…a tender respite from the world
…knit from heart-strings, family ties.
…where we always wish we were.

My favorite moment, which I haven’t had for a while, is a kiss on my neck or a hug from behind while I am doing dishes. That feels like home and love to me.

mine would be them doing the dishes instead of me. But I digress.

“…where we always wish we were.”
so true. I remember even as a kid, just wanting to “go home.”
very nice. 🙂

I remember that, too. Thanks.

thank you.

Nicely written. Home truly is a condition, not a place.
Nov 19, 2010 @ 16:05:10
I moved around a lot when I was younger. Home really is where your people are.
Thanks

I like the first and the last lines! His strong arms are where I always want to be! He’ll be home from a week of work tonight! It can’t get here fast enough!!

The heart strings… My daughter used to sing “who says you can’t go home” knowing that she can always go home. She is starting to learn that home isn’t necessarily where we live but it is the love that she is and the compassion and empathy and hugs of her mamma!
Happy Friday

That is definitely the first definition of home. and it’s the benchmark against which all others are measured.

“a tender respite from the world” — just so. just so. 🙂
Nov 19, 2010 @ 16:16:13
one hopes.
thank you.

“…not a place, but a feeling” – so true!

I learned that in my “semi-nomadic” childhood.

Ah, yes, a heavy hand can be a good thing.
Nov 22, 2010 @ 07:32:49
you mean heavy head?
