My Other Home



I hear the sound
the wonderful sound
Of my feet
Stepping on the ground
I walk in the forest
Among all of the trees
Trying to be quiet
As to not disturb
Nature, at ease

When I reach the end
Of this forest path
I turn around and walk
BACK
Back to my first home
My first family
BACK
Out of this forest home
My other home.
