When I Look Into Your Eyes....

Today I put a poem on here for Carry on Tuesday. The prompt was "When I look into your eyes". This poem is for my daughter.

Daughter
 When I look into your eyes,
I see strength.
Strength of character
so strong,
and it inspires me.
You inspire me.
Your eyes they spark,
and your eyes they glow.
Life.
Your eyes just dance with life.
And  I know your story,
and I know your past,
and I look into your eyes
and see strength.

COMING HOME - home is where the heart is

Below is a poem I have written this week for Carry On Tuesday.
This weeks prompt is "Home Is Where The Heart Is"

COMING HOME

Coming home

driving in the drive

turn off the key

and sit

be still.

Home at last

too many hours

on the road

too much traffic

in that city

too many lights

way to bright.

Home is where it is quiet

Home is where it is dark

Home is where it is peaceful

and welcoming

and familiar.

Home is where the heart is.

Home is also where your heart is.

It's good to be home.
