Beautiful imagery in this lovely nostalgic poem. Fond memories can see us through some difficult times and quiet our fears. They can also give depth to our lives.
Well done.
Blessings

Janet, I am profoundly appreciative of this six-star review. My hope is that you enjoy the best life has to offer you this week and you partake of it mightily.
Comment from Kit Nongkhlaw
Home is where the heart is. No matter where you are, home is the place we longed for. Home, no matter how big or small, is the place where we grow up. Excellent work.

Comment from Patty Palmer
Great job! You paint a vivid picture of your birth home and the lone light that shines brightly in the dark. You make the reader "feel" your memories. Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully written Jim. Yes indeed, whatever we allow ourselves to be rooted and grounded, provided it has some infallibility to it, then that should philosophically and morally bind us in its solid reassurance. Bless you, this is a "corker", (you'll have to look up Aussie words for that meaning) well done, blessings Roy

A few years ago, while my wife and I were in town to attend my father's funeral services, my father's youngest brother drove past a house and said to me; "This is the house you were born in." I was 63 years old at the time and I marveled at the condition the house was in, it still looked totally livable, in need of no repairs as far as I could tell. Your remarkable poem caused all of the feelings I experienced that day to come rushing back to me. Thank you so much.

A really nice post. Very good description of the setting, but more important, what that setting represents for you. Hopefully, we all have such a space. Bill

Bill thanks for the comment on my Free Verse on the Homestead.
Comment from Wendy G
This is a wonderful story, told in flowing blank verse, and very well written. It keeps the reader's interest throughout. It keeps to the theme, and is imaginative and creative. The photo is well-chosen, a great support for your poetry.
