Coming Home

I’m tracing back the road I’ve roamed
At last I will be coming home
My heart still dwells within the place
Of buttercups and Queen Ann’s lace

I miss the green of rolling hills
The sound of August locust trills
The daisy meadows, maple shade
And memories that never fade

I’m coming home to rose of red
A vision on the road ahead
Through mist of morning I can see
The sprawling oak and holly tree

I will be there in Autumn’s wake
To see the candles on his cake
To see his smile, a mouth uplift
The joy of opening a gift

It’s never lost and never late
The chance to softly demonstrate
The love for child, the seeds you’ve sewn
The need for peace of heart and home

I long to open up the door
To sounds of joy and love once more
To see what change has come about
To watch him blow his candles out

There still is time, it’s not too late
Though life has spun a change of fate
The road is long, but up ahead
I think I see a rose of red

This is really beautiful. There really is, no place like home.
I believe that home is where I heart is, and all we have to do is search to find it.

Hugs,
Deb

Pleasantly written. To come back home is nice and on his birthday is even nicer.
