Birthplace

When your heart is in your birthplace

And you have grown wise and naughty

In that place

But the mind takes you to another place

And you settle and become a citizen of that place

Will you ever feel at home there

Though your nationality may also change

Everything appears foreign there

Though  you have lived your later years in that place

Even small things disturb you

As if you are living in a strange place

But as fate would have it

You go on living in that place

Though longing is for your birthplace

There is something unique about your birthplace

That attracts you like a magnet

You may go to any place

But you want to be back in your birthplace!
