       Come On Home

you’ve been wandering
way too long
time for you to settle down
and come on home
I’ve waited a lifetime
you know it’s true
I’m still here
believing in you
time to be
in the arms of trust
where I can clean
your heart of dust
chancing now to right
so much wrong
back to the place
where you belong
direction where your magnet
draws you to
come on home
I’m waiting for you

I love these lines. Very sincere offer you have made, all he has to do is "Come On Home". Enjoyed your poem very much!
