Where is Home? By elizabeth Lyons-Best

My family is in the military

where goodbyes are the norm

where the meaning of home is a mystery

because it's not where I was born

I am from evergreens and roses

A hipster sort of haven

Where bridges span the town

Oregon is where I built my foundation

I am from corn fields and yellow brick roads

Where you see sunflowers and tornadoes

A click of the heels will take you home

Kansas is where my family grows

I am from peach trees and bumblebees

From red dirt and hay rides

A place where back roads free the soul

Georgia is where my family still resides

I am from sunshine and rainbows

Where the swell is always rad

A place where board shorts are constantly worn under palm trees

Hawaii is where I was a highschool grad

Maybe home is the place where my heart feels most at peace

I'm thankful to have traveled with my family

It has built me piece by piece
