I will carry my home with me,
in the stars I see every night…
For they hold the stories,
my grandma told me,
the walks on the beach,
with the family,
and the moment,
when my heart,
first took flight.
I will carry my home with me,
in the stars I see every night…
For when I lose sight,
of where I am,
they comfort me,
like they comforted my ancestors,
eons before I was born,
guiding them with light.
I will carry my home with me,
in the stars I see every night…
For their infinite beauty,
keeps me grounded,
no matter how high I fly,
reminding me who I am,
and where I come from,
as I sail across the sky.
I will carry my home with me,
in the stars I see every night.

This is lovely. My son always tells me that when he is away and I miss him to look up at the stars because he always looks up to knowing we are always looking at the same ones. 🙂 my home is where my boys are and when they are not with me, they are looking at the stars, looking for me and I am looking for them.
