"Home is where the heart is." My heart has been on vacation, got lost at the station, missed it's connecting flight, has come down with a plight. It's missed the school bus, forgotten how to trust, spilled coffee in its lap, fallen into a trap. It's still playing dress up, afraid still to mess up, losing its car keys, crying after a tease. If home is where the heart is, a place where a warm hearth is, then mine has missed the boat for I'm still just out afloat...

Home Is Where the Heart Is
"Home is where the heart is." My heart has been on vacation, got lost at the station, missed it's connecting flight, has come down with a plight. It's missed the school bus, forgotten how to trust, spilled coffee in its lap, fallen into a trap. It's still playing dress up, afraid still to mess up, losing its car keys, crying after a tease. If home is where the heart is, a place where a warm hearth is, then mine has missed the boat for I'm still just out afloat...
Just a five minute jot. Sorry for the ineloquence and terrible pentameter.
