I Miss My Hometown Poem by Nudershada Cabanes

I Miss My Hometown

Rating: 4.8


I miss my hometown
The place of my birth
The land of my fathers
The cradle of my youth
I miss its proud mountain
That stands aloof
In the heart of the mainland
I miss its ocean teeming with sealife
I miss its green sea
That sparkle under the rays of the sun
And its white sands beneath the shore
The vast horizon that has no end
I miss its ground
Where my feet had run and trumpled on
Its gentle breeze that blew my hair
On hot summer days
I miss the sound of the wind blowing
When a storm is coming to our shore
Oh how I miss those things
If only I can come home

Apparently you are no longer in your hometown. Many of us feel nostalgic about our origins, and I am no exception. I really like this poem. By the way, it's not too late to edit it and change 'trumpled' to the word you intended.

This poem resonates for me, Nudershada. There are circumstances in life, beyond our control that deter us from going back to our hometown. A very touching piece beautifully crafted.10
