These days away
I miss the most
A comfy bed
And warm fresh toast
A friend a home
And non sandy pants
Not sunburn, bruises
Drop toilets and ants
I yern for home
A calling to me
But then again
I love the sea
So many miles
Worn in my feet
I feel so tired
My emotional defeat
This place so calm
Loving and care-free
It's a good holiday
But it's not home to me
Author's Notes/Comments:
I wrote this while I was sitting on a beach called "Refuge Cove" at Wilsons Prom around 5pm. I had been Hiking for 3 days and I was so tired, sore and emotional that I just wanted to go home and cry. I remember when I finally got back to the bus, my friend who was in the other group came up to me and said 'hi', I almost burst into tears because I was so happy to see them (It had only been 4 days).
That camp was Hell but I think I'd do it again.
