Home is in the country,

The roots that hang on tight.

It’s in the lakes and sunset sky.

 

Home is in the woods,

Where the leaves are always changing.

It’s in the sea and the Oyster Catchers cry.

 

Home is in the snow,

A clean sheet on which to walk on.

It’s in the wind that whistles by.

 

Home is in the mountains,

Quiet but stead strong.

It’s in the open countryside.

 

Home is in the stars,

Shining, omnipresent.

It’s in the sun that shines so high.

 

Home is in the special friends,

An unconditional acceptance.

It’s in the ones whom we confide.

 

Home is in the one I love,

Your touch that still surrounds me.

It’s in the memories that will never die.

Nicely done. The structure holds the poem together well, and the end-of-stanza rhyming scheme.  Heartwarming senitments carried by a good poetic rhythm.

thanks guys! thats amazing. :) To me it was partly about my home in scotland where the oyster catchers really did cry outside my window, and all the other things that i think of as home, rather than just being a house.
