From The Ardmore Public Library
Homeward Bound by Virginia Blanck Moore sited in Poems for Christmas.
My heart is homeward bound these days
Because it’s Christmastime.
When I see windows gaily decked
And hear the carols chime,
When I meet parcel-laden folks
Returning smiles with smiles,
My heart goes winging straight across
The intervening miles
To home, to family, and to friends
That childhood days made dear,
To hometown streets where passersby
Greet one with welcoming cheer.
Though years go by and decades too,
Still I have always found
When Christmastime makes its approach
My heart is homeward bound.
Merry Christmas from Ardmore Public Library.
