My Far Away Home
My Far Away Home
When I’m asked what I miss most,
I answer, “HOME.”
The place I call home is far, far from here. 7,426 miles away to be exact.
The place I call home is crowded with people, jeepneys, tricycles, and street food vendors.
The place I call home is known for its many, many islands and sweet savory fruit.
The place I call home is filled with exotic birds soaring gracefully in the air.
The place I call home is where I grew up in, where I made friends,
and where we made memories I won’t forget.
The place I call home is where I hope I could stay every day for the rest of my life.
Even though I don’t fully understand everything they say.
Even though many earthquakes and floods occur there.
The place I call home is where my friends and family are.
The place I call home is the Philippines.
And even though I may not be there right now,
It will always have a very special place in my heart.
