Coming Home

It is a day that is so longingly awaited for
In fact nothing else is wanted more
So far off in yet another foreign land 
As America continues to make Her stand

Just out of reach beyond every horizon
I’m really looking forward to seeing you Son
Knowing how much that you must have grown
For you have done so well on your very own

But this time it just seems so, so long
Maybe it’s just that I’m not as strong
My mind rummaging through all those days of the past
So enjoy all of your life, for time certainly doesn’t last

You make me so proud in all that you do
With this little poem saying how much we all miss you
We can’t wait to again see your face
For we all miss you so much around this place

Come Home Soon
God speed
