Hometown

I suddenly find myself in a place I thought I'd never find again

Like returning to a familiar place but changed

Some shops are gone and street names new

Some houses torn or built anew

In my walk I find a cozy hole in the wall

It’s a place not there before

I find myself at home immediately

Enjoying myself immensely

I once left this town thought I’d never come back

But this unexpected find beckoned me, stay
