The Scent of Home

When we are away or leave We hunger for the scent of home We wish for something familiar Something we can cling to Something we know We will do anything for it It’s precious When we are away or leave We hunger for the scent of home The flowers The trees The landscape The people and the food The feeling of it It becomes an intoxicating perfume For the soul and heart To comfort and calm When we are away or leave We hunger for the scent of home It never leaves us It’s in our heart
