Reflection and lessons learned from "Quiet Night Thought"

 QUIET NIGHT THOUGHT


REFLECTION AND LESSONS LEARNED

    This poem, it represents the feeling of how a person feels when he misses home. A quiet place tends to let us overthink things that accidentally pass through our minds. The thoughts we usually think come from what we feel inside. It is not us being dramatic, but it is just a freedom of expression and reaction to the things we realized when we are all alone.

Just like what the writer of this poem experienced, I also had the opportunity to live alone far from my family. At first, I did not feel the longingness to be at home. I feel happy to be free at last from the chain of depending on them. However, the happiness did not last for a day passes by, is a day that I am becoming empty inside. Therefore, we cannot totally forget the things that feel like home. At the end of the day, we keep on craving for the scent, warmth, and comfort of being at home.

In this poem, I have learned the following:

  • A home is not a house, it is a feeling.
  • A man cannot survive alone, we all need a home to lean on.
  • Happiness is temporary if we have no one to share a good laugh with.
  • Our strength and will to go on comes from our family.
  • The belongingness we feel in our family is genuine and pure.
