Utah, My Home - a Poem

Recently, I, with my husband and daughter, took a trip to Utah to see family and friends we haven't seen in a few years. I didn't realize how much I missed and love Utah. It's where I grew up. So much of my life and memories are in Utah. It's where I went to school, where I graduated college, and where I met and married my best friend.

I don't know what the future has in store for us as far as where we will live. We're far from our Utah home right now, but who knows, maybe one day we'll be back.

So with that introduction, here is an original, short, and raw poem: Utah, My Home.

Utah, My Home

Mountains majesty

Valleys great

Sky so wide

Earth so firm

Where as I child I dreamed

I soared through wind

Arms outstretched

Ready to float

Yearning to fly

Where as I child I played

Free to discover

Dancing through the grass

Bare feet, eyes closed, face to the sky

Utah, my home

Where I first learned to imagine

Where the stars taught me to dream

Where seasons taught me to feel

Utah, my home

Forever you will be

The heart

The beating

The start

Of everything

I wished

Hoped for

Yearned for

Utah, my home

Full of peace

Love

And breath

One day we will find each other again

Utah, my home
