About This Poem
So Far Away
So Far Away
Moonlight touches down on the open roads
Leaving shadows from places so far away
How I long to be with my family back home
How fast the children keep growing each day
I hear a song on the radio that brings me to tears
A song about a truck driver like me
I wish that my job required me to be near
So I could live those precious moments with my family
My wife works hard at keeping the children safe and sound
Keeping the home front going strong
She fights hard with the loneliness of me not being around
Knowing we’re so far away feels so wrong
I glance at our small family photo taped on my dashboard
A moment I wish was here but that was some time ago
A moment once lived and now gone
So far away in the shadows
I pull over my truck to wipe the tears from my eyes
To look out beyond the distance of the road
Hoping somehow, somewhere I’ll be able to see them in sight
A glimpse of happiness of being home
Just a made up poem from a song I heard.
