Welcome Home
Lost in the wilderness
For so many years
Suffering the loneliness
With no one to dry his tears.
His sanity depending
Upon his beautiful memories
Climbing mountains never ending
Alone with the valley's streams and tree's.
He is escaping life's pressures
The pain that haunts his mind
Taking drastic measures
Himself he has to find .
Sleeping outdoors under the sky above
Feeding from the land
He remembers his true love
and the life that they had planned.
By campfire he's smiling
Feeling so serene
Her beauty so beguiling
Tonight of her he'll dream.
Butterflies ascending
In his heart he knows
Forever love he's defending
and it follows wherever he goes.
He gathers his belongings
Packing them in his canoe
The sound of rapids thronging
He knows what he must do.
He'll hug her eagerly
No more will he roam
Then kiss her tenderly
As she whispers ''welcome home''
