Home Poem by Dalia Butterfly

Home



I left home decades ago
And traveled far away
To land in this cultural melting pot

Today I am grounded
I have been given a voice
In the future of this country

I am united and indivisible
Filled with stars and stripes of patriotism

In a giant land I am just one person
Yet today I feel larger than life
I feel heard, and significant
I feel grateful and free
I feel courageous

I am, once again, home

The poem is nice I liked reading it. It made me feel happy to be an American, eventhough I find myself becomming critical of non english speeking peoples in my nieborhood; your words melting pot reminded me, that's wrong of me. I want to thank you for your poem.
