Yearning – A Poem by Aubrey Odirile, Botswana

I yearn for a place;
Where mom’s cooking fills the air,
And the laughter of siblings echoes.

I long for a time;
When we’d share granny’s house,
With cousins, play until the cock crows.

I crave a destination;
Where sharing was a thing,
And granny didn’t have favourites.

Take me back there;
Where love spread wildly,
And toddlers were the only chaos.

I miss the old point in time.
I miss the old perfect place.
I miss the old happy home.
