We Promise To Visit Soon
We Promise To Visit Soon
By Elton Camp
He looks for a car in the drive
Perhaps today they will arrive
They promised that they will
A visit would be such a thrill
Long, lonely days now for Clyde
His disappointment is hard to hide
The children grown, moved away
They now have but little to say
No more job does Clyde hold
Retired because he got too old
Wife with whom he expected to share
In just an instant, she’s no longer there
Dreary days stretch into sleepless night
For him, nothing has turned out right
The kids have their own lives to live
And little time for old Dad to give
“They’ll soon come, you’ll see.
Because they all promised me.”
