A Boomer Poem, inspired by “Two of Us” (“On Our Way Home”), by The Beatles (1970)
The two of us looking always, never finding
the right place
One day we were out driving, suddenly smiling
We found it: OUR HOME!
We found our new home
This is our new home
We’re moving home
The two of us choosing finishes, getting excited
About our home
Driving through, we see neighbors, look! They’re waving!
Oh, this feels like home!
We found our new home
This is our new home
We’re moving home
You and I share memories
And we’ve found a place where neighbors become friends.
All of us in our courtyards, planting gardens
in the sun
All of us share a history, now we’re happy
Living in our homes.
We found our new home
This is our new home
We’re moving home
Forging some new memories
With the neighbors who we met in our first days.
All of us walk wide sidewalks, sharing great talks
having fun
You and me feeling grateful, we discovered
our wonderful new home!
We found our new home
