Aroma of Home

Remember the day
How when we got off the plane
We all fell to our knees and kissed the ground
Intoxicated by the distinct aroma of Home
Remember how we vowed to pocket some before we left?
I daresay some did
But some did not.

Well. We'll be back soon enough.
Who would have thought it in a thousand years?
Who would have thought it in a million years?

Remember all the plans we'd all made?
How we'd go back and improve on paradise?
Who would've envisaged it so astray?
Scattered families all around the globe
Without a country
Without a home
Roaming round like gypsies along unwelcome shores.

Well. We'll be back soon enough.
Who would've believed it could happen to us?
Who would've thought it in a million years?

It's all too sad to contemplate
The bitterness within too bitter to pallet
Some will forever pine and resent
Some will accept and forget
Forgetting is by far the easiest way
That was another life
Another day
This is now
This is me
Alone and content
But free.
