When I think of home I…

Feel the salty breeze of the early morn with a taste that’s sweet,
I hear the burgeoning noise as vehicles start to fill the streets.
Then I behold the sounds of the alarms that wake my kin,
I then sense a speck of light that come from down the stairs,
It tells me that dad, I’m sure you’ve made it first again.
How it all seemed ordinary yesterday,
Why do I look back as if it was of a century ago?
If only I could set foot on you by simply closing my eyes,
I most certainly will without any doubt.
My dearest Zamboanga,
It is you that I long to see again.
