Going Home

By Dawn Oswald


Going home Back to my beautiful blue waves O, how I love how the ocean sounds The birds flying above I just love the Seagulls, the sounds they make When I hear them, I will feel so happy Reminds me of our family vacations in Canada There I can sit on my porch and watch the boats go by Stare at my water of peace Back to the heat Away from the cold I can finally thaw out My bones can stop hurting I can be by my friends and family Going home to my home That sounds lovely No one else’s home My home I can do what I want to it Sure, it’s going to be hot, but I will have AC Away from being afraid of being attack by wildlife The bears and moose, but there were no snakes I will miss Alaska It is beautiful and fishing is great The mountains are so beautiful I did get sick on the boat, but I still fished like a champion Don’t worry Alaska, I will be back I am sure I will run out of fish and bear meat Would you rather be cold or hot? Back to enjoying my walks on the beach, but I did not miss all that sand How do you get sand everywhere? I mean everywhere If I get to hot, I can just jump in the water Going home finally, but for how long? We might adventure again Wait and see But for now, I am going home
