The country of my familial roots I found another home To rest from the constant roam That is my current status As I widen my radius and dispel the superfluous Guten tag as I entered in I could not lose this plastered grin I was constantly pleasantly surprised At how my loose laid plans did arise and how lovely time flies Because every moment was gift A different kind of lift my soul experienced another way to say how lucky I am to live this today
A week of English teaching meant conversation and thoughtful speaking With individuals so adorable and unique, I never would’ve met had I not taken this leap Who were a bit taken aback by my wandering lifestyle choice, but all seemed to appreciate that I had my own voice, even if it is so different Than their own settled lives We could each acknowledge how the other thrives

A boy I just meant once Had a feeling he was sweet Got nearly swept off my feet A little chat here and there about our plans And then showed up, with empty hands Here I am for the week Here I was given a sneak peak Into the life he lives on the daily His habits and routines and traditional dreams, mixed with memories and musings and a will to go against the mundane seams His friends and family welcomed me in so kindly, I accepted and went with it quite blindly So he takes me in and plans my days for me He hosts and helps and shows me His towns , his bounds , his words , recently translated, simple and profound He would say I must see this cute city I should enjoy this natural beauty I ought to take part in this community His mates, So tight and tethered Fresh faced, unweathered By the travesty of history Making their reputation of stability and prosperity An old tradition anew, of solid familial glue A guy so polite and mild mannered Yet a strong manly man Who’s doing what he can To build a happy life And make his parents proud cherish the love of his siblings round He won’t settle for anything less than the best As he pursues to uphold the family crest In spirit, an eagle, definitely not American Who may occasionally roam, glad to be reassured that his home is home
