Heavens Else

Two foot mine set out on a long but beautiful road 

With all things in my backpack,quite heavy a load

I looked ahead and turned not to see my folks cry

While they waved me with their tears a goodbye

Wheels on the streets and aeroplanes in the skies

Boats in the waters and all that runs,sails or flies

Board I did to wander in a paradise far and away
Singing to me myself 'Oh what a perfect holiday!'

A world it was of bridges strong and buildings tall

Every fine wonder that man alone hath made it all

People I met,places I reached,pretty nice and new

Grabbing each moment of joy that a journey threw

But alas!My gypsyish delight was not meant to last 

For I forgot memories are God's present from past
 No letters nor a call and I thought I could care less  
I had lost more than I had gained is what I confess

As I slept in the chaos and woke in the silence long

On one good night I remembered my mother's song
My father's sweat hidden behind a smile for my sake
And my forever friends fighting for my birthday cake

Off I strode back then on a way safe and the shortest

To meet the guides and comrades of my life the best 
 'They are waiting!'some thing from inside always tells
Home is where my heart is,not in any heavens else!
