Homecoming
Grief and love and wonder
Can scarce exist in so frail a place
As my fragile heart
Daughter of the Most High King
Your wick is trimmed, your lamp is full
And I am sundered, torn apart
Long together have we journeyed
O’er a road, sometimes a highway
At times, a rocky trail
O that you would not leave me
Wander boldly on ahead
Thoughts that make my courage fail
Love that’s nearly bursting
Dams beneath the eyes assailed
Watching as you breath
Would that you would stay a bit
Tarry in my arms a while
Before you leave
Wonder that He called to you
For the great adventure
To that far-off shore
Grief and love and wonder
Treasures of a life with you
Who could ask for more?
