He comes and goes another trip another assignment another suitcase to pack, unpack another sigh another tear another "Welcome home, my dear" he comes and goes, comes and goes and life for me just ebbs and flows She comes and goes another break another holiday another suitcase to pack, unpack another sigh another tear another, "Welcome home, my dear" She comes and goes, comes and goes and life for me just ebbs and flows They come an go, come and go and I? I stay.... I stay with words I craft I fly away I come and go I come and go My dreams and thoughts just ebb and flow I stay... and fly away.... Eileen Manassian

heartfelt write Eileen, well penned...though they come and go, you've got the strength to cope, so they always have someone to meet in a place they refer as home...

With all my changes lately, I can relate to this one. Getting packed this morning to take my Sweetie for a long weekend to Vancouver before I fly to Ontario next week. Yay I get to see my mom sis and brother!

Thanks, Tim. I try. Hubby just came back from a few days in Malta. He was attending a conference. Daughter travels back to Hungry on Monday...then hubby goes on another trip. I get lonely....very lonely, but.....I have a trip to Malta coming up soon. We are going to celebrate dad's 80th. :) I hope to see Charmaine and Paul....Thanks for the lovely post. I've been down the last few days. So much stress. Things are better...my semester grades are in....Now for a few days of break. Hugs
