This is a sweet poem showing that a home is built with love and it is what you make it. Somethings are out of our control-getting gray, growing old-but finding peace at home is within our heart's home. Thanks for sharing!

Yes. Home is where the heart is. It is the starting place for love, peace and harmony. Where love resides, hope and dreams happen. Thank you for sharing a wonderfully written poem.

Thank you, sir. Linda
Comment from Simina Flavia
I enjoyed this a lot, thank you for posting. When I first read the title it sounded to me like a command, like telling an unwanted visitor to just "go home" already. I did wonder, based on your last sentences, since you talk about making final arrangements and mention that there's nowhere else to go, if "home" now means death in some sense ?

Simina: thank you for reading and commenting. I am 72 years of age and have had 24 years of heart disease, am in CHF and have emphysema. There is no cure for any of these things. I am slowly nearing the end of my life as we all do. Linda

Golly LivelyLinda, you've encapsulated just about everything good associated with home. Your contest entry had me grinning and feeling good all at the same time.

LivelyLinda,
You better NOT "go home"- you better stay right here and keep writing poems like this - because- this was terrific!
Your story telling of the relationship stages that a human and their home go through was very clever!
Your subtle visual images of the body adapting to each stage " hair goes grey" " "body getting fluffy"- brought a touch of humor that lightened the end of your piece.
"When there is no where else to go- go home ( to your final resting place)
LivelyLinda- this was a very good poem and displayed great maturation of thought.
Well done.

This is a nicely written commentary that spans a lifetime. Yes, home is defined very well by you in this penning. I enjoyed reading this and relating to it fully. Keep writing!

Home is most certainly where the heart is, as your poem illustrates with a series of compelling images tracing life's journey. I very much enjoyed your poem. Thanks for sharing.

greyson, I have been struggling with emphysema, very ill and haven't been writing much lately. I've been on this site for several years. There are hundreds of poems/stories in my portfolio. Thanks for reading and commenting. Linda
Comment from nancyjam
I love this poem! It is a perfect description of home. I could relate to so much of it. Especially now that we are in our homes so much of the time and we begin to consider the memories it holds.
Thank you for sharing your experience of home and reminding us how lucky we are to have one.
Take care.
