IGCSE Narrative and descriptive Writing

Describe a return visit to a place where you once lived

I stood under the gentle spring sun, it's rays warming my skin, like kisses from the divine. In front of me is my home, my house, where I once lived. The house was perfect like it once was but it looked more old and broken. the ground was scattered with livid blossom and the dewdrops on the vivid green leaves made them look like a pearl. Birds above flit from branch to branch, letting out their sweet melody. The tiny pool glittered invitingly, still clean and pure. The plip-plopping of the colourful fishes caused rings to puff out and disappear. 

          The surroundings are the same as I imagined it would be. Early in the morning, The artistic sun was busy colouring the sky like a baby splashing colours here and there. The white, milky clouds started travelling around the sky, visiting the wonderful environment. The surroundings were full of some pleasant smells. The open-air so rare in the big city smelled of orange blossoms and freshly baked apple pie. I wish I could bottle the fragrance and take it with me. All the nostalgia swept through my mind as I looked at my childhood house. Small me playing some of my electrifying games with my pals, eating apple pies while running here and there, No problems or stress, just fun...

        The wind sang softly through the trees making the environment more tranquil. The trees stretched their arms to reach the sun as small tomatoes peeked out, shy and red checked from the leafy shade. I touched a tomato, which was as soft as baby's cheeks. 

       My hairs licked and lapped in the breeze like a crackling fire as I stood there, looking at the prepossessing sight and feeling the rhythm of my heart go slow, like the wind which was smoothly flowing. As I made my way to the house, my footprint embedded, leaving a piece of me in the cold ground. Before I could knock the door, my mother opened it and hugged me as tightly as she could. Her strawberry shampoo's scent entered my nose as I hugged her back, felling as cozy as I could define. 

         "Welcome home son." my mother said still snuggling near me. I smiled and tried not to be overwhelmed by all the scene but what can I say  EAST and WEST home is the best.
