The Place Where I Belong

A world traveler tells where her heart really belongs.

The Place Where I Belong
I’ve seen the pyramids of Egypt
And the waves of the Mediterranean Sea
I’ve been in a gondola in Venice
And surfed in the water of Hawaii
I’ve sailed by the Statue of Liberty
And the totem poles in a place near Nome
But if I had a place I’d want to stay
It would be right here at home sweet, home.
I love the warmth I find inside.
My bedroom has that special feel.
The kitchen keeps me coming back
For second helpings of the Thanksgiving meal.
My family has the biggest heart
Old stories are fun to hear
And in my chair is Mikie, my cat
And the sky outside is always clear.
Someday I’ll have a home of my own
I’ll settle down and appreciate
The place that makes me feel complete
So my foreign travels will have to wait.
