IS IT HOME HERE

Is it my home here,

Is it the place called everywhere,

Is it the world where there used to be

Colourless smiles and good music,

Is it the place where we used to dance

When around bonfires there was no fence,

When the elders were telling their tales

For the Future to exhale;

Is it my home here,

Is it the place called everywhere,

Is it the village where the soil was green,

The house where a man was a king

As up and high as the sun,

As brave and proud as strong,

When his voice could break any curse,

When the nature praised his course;

Is it home here

Is it my home here,

Is it the place called everywhere,

Is it the land where Mum was born,

Where she could farm despite fever and sunburn

In those times of proud dresses

Flowing from queens to princesses,

When crowns were made of pure stones,

When any single chair was a throne;

Is it my home here

Is it the place called everywhere,

Is it the realm of family,

The world I used to call Harmony,

The ground where flowers would play

Happy and healthy each day…

Is it my home here,

Is it the hand men used to share.

About the Author

My name is Théodore René Ndebi, born in Cameroon. I graduated in Banking Management. But what really makes me proud and happy is WRITING !!!!! I started writing around 1990. I write the most I can.

I mostly write for children’s future. As a child, I had always dreamt of a world where poor children and orphans could be happy as well. I have many unpublished collections in French: Chaque Jour Un Poème, Rêve D’un Soir, La Missive Du Petit Prince, Suis-Je Assez Bien Pour Toi… I’m also author of unpublished novels in French (Cierge Noir, Plus Violent Que L’amour, Les Fruits De La Tempête…). My first published novel; THE LAST GHOST/Son Of Struggle got published in 2013 by AuthorhouseUK; it appears in the LOS Angeles Times Festival Of Books Catalogue 2014 Page 8. Available online @ Amazon, Kindle, AuthorhouseUK, Barnes & Noble, Indie. I wrote numerous award winning texts. I am a Book Reviewer and Translator.
