Come Home

So breaks the hearts of those who cared
The many nights they’ve sat and prayed
For your return to safety there
But no return, your decisions made
Your back, it seemed to face them all
As you so ventured from their sight
But, yet they prayed that you don’t fall
To become a victim of the night
Without a word or call from you
They still all wait and pray you’re fine
Forgiving all you say and do
At a chance to see you again sometime
So, if per chance you’re passing by
Please give thoughts to those who pray
They wish to see you but again
Allowing you chances on other days
