When colorful leaves from above do descend <br />When those first snowflakes of winter fill the sky <br />When plants come to life upon getting rain on which they depend <br />When comes scorching heat I love so dear that makes others sigh <br />That is when I long for home the most <br /> <br />When I read the Psalms, Scripture songs heaven-sent <br />When in trials and troubles I feel the hand of God upon my shoulder <br />When time in most deep and heartfelt prayer is being spent <br />When the sun is almost set and God paints the clouds a color much golder <br />That is when I long for Home the most. <br /> <br />(September 23,2004)<br /><br />David Lovell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/longing-7/
