Coming Back Home


City, after city fades
One more night dreaming of home
Morning arrives and my weeping cascades
I am tired of this journey and my solitary roam
Now, I realize how much I love you
Gathering my strength I pray our love is still true
Beautiful memories of us come out of the blue
And I wander the crowded streets cold to the bone
Can you wait for me I am coming home, I groan
Keep sending you messages, oh I am so alone
Hoping and praying to the Lord above
Oh wait, I will be home soon my love
My heart is weary but also full of joy
Eager to see you-   worried love I did not destroy

You capture so well the fear we have when we've been away and wonder if the loved one left at home still wants us. Beautifully written, my friend! Congratulations on your win in John's contest. Hugs, Carolyn
