Fly Back Home

Away from home for many years,
Would shadow of the past be clear?
Old friends and family members
Will be smear, uneasily remember.

Away from the warm motherland,
Thousands miles where I stand,
Pursue freedom and happiness,
Blue sky shows ways of success.

Fly back home with melancholy;
Do the hand prints rest steadily?
Do the works retain their shape?
Or time lets sweet past escape?
