Where is Home?


Home sweet home

Where can I find it? 

I look to the west 

To the east 

Yet it remains afar

Home is where the heart is

But what to do

When the heart is divided

For it lies among the beaches of Fortaleza

Kissed by the cool breeze and warmed by the hot sun

Washed by the warm salt water 

Alas! How I miss walking in the hot sand!

What shall I do though? 

My heart lies among my family 

Who with time have moved to different places

Here I stand and here I wonder

Where is home?
