No matter how long the road,

or how hard the climb.

No matter that the wind and rain may push me down.

At the end of the journey,

a light still shines,

guiding me.

My eternal compass

shows me the way,

To hearth and comfort.

To the family I love.

Waiting for me

with warm embraces and laughter,

tales of long agos and far aways.

Childhood,

adulthood,

and stages in between.

All of it part of the long path to the place where I will be content to spend the rest of my days.

Home.
