After Grandpa died,
Mom told us he was back home
-thanksgiving dinner
In steerage for weeks,
They came on deck to see home
-lady liberty.
Summer camp over,
There was a long bus ride back
-home seemed to be new.
At meeting Boss says:
"I'm giving myself a raise!
-you can all go home."
Coming home again,
I felt like a stranger there
-after the war, distance.
I walked through the ward,
knowing this was home to them
-children's hospital.
When young, home was huge!
I went away to college
-then I found it small.
Victory touchdown!
After losing all season
-happy homecoming.
