MOTHERLAND

Where do we flee to ~ for comfort, for solace?

                            MOTHERLAND

Everything is only temporary ~ we are

              just pasing through.

Appreciate the scenery, as we travel by:

          absorb formidable sights on high!

Return you must ~ for in 'mother' we trust:-

          Tierra de la madre

           Mon  man comre'

           Terre  de la mere

           " Yuh got to cum back home!"

No matter how you express it, it all boils down to this fact.

To whom do we owe allegience? ...

The comfort of the womb ~ your hiding place ~

             a baby's comfort zone.

She gave you succour: she nourished you,

took you through those turbulent years,

she cosseted you, wiped away the tears.

With you she stood the test ...

Now you are free ~ simply the best!

Return to her she calls you, she needs you..

because though life takes you to unexpected places

              LOVE brings you home!

So beautiful dear Kitty, fills the heart with delight warmth, touch me in a personal way since unfortunately my own ancient Motherland has been destroyed, and how many years we need to build it all again I'm not sure...

Such a heart warming prose. The emotions and attachments with once motherland is really so deep. Yes, i agree with you. Birds are free and so does they fly high in sky but at the end of the day they return to their nest. Loved the way of your expressions. The old familiar faces. The old familiar spaces.

Return to her she calls you, she needs you..
because though life takes you to unexpected places
LOVE brings you home!

Hat's off!!!!!
