MY SON ISMy








My son is home at last,
that is all that matters to me,
I don't care where he's been,
in what land or on what sea.
I don't care what he may have done,
or what he may have seen.
I only know that he's home with me,
back home safe, where he should be..

I could feel he was coming back,
when joy first began to stir within,
and I just knew I would see him again,
before another long day would end.
I could see him in my mind,
long before my eyes were able to see.
And I could see each hill he climbed ,
on his long journey back home to me.

And I ran to greet my son,
embraced him, and kissed him tenderly,
and  I forgave him as any father would,
on the day my son came home to me.
