Reflection and lessons learned from "My Native Village"

 MY NATIVE VILLAGE



    This poem narrates how the author feels toward his native village. So what is really the concept of home? Is it the same as the author’s perception of what his native village was all about?

    Based on my own point of view, home is where you left your heart at. It is a place and a feeling that you always wanted to stay. It is where we learn our first word, first walk, and first play. In relation to the author’s poem, I can say that my perception of home and his definition of his native village consist of the same characteristics. Wherever we may go, we cannot deny the fact that engraved inside our hearts is a missing jigsaw puzzle, and that is the longing of our home. As I have stated earlier, home can be a feeling as well. Home as a feeling is the touch of emotion that caresses our soul. This feeling can be felt in the arms of our special someone, a friend, and a family. Therefore, a home is a place and a feeling that we always long for.

Here are the lessons I have learned from the poem:

  • There is no place like home.
  • Home is where our heart lies.
  • Memories from our home are forever kept inside us
  • Always look back to where you come from.
