Back Home
An Original
By Floyd A. Jensen

To wake up in the morning,
And smell dew on fresh cut hay.
To hear a Gold Finch singing,
At the beginning of the day.  

To see a young calf running,
In a meadow along the lane.
Oh God I'd give up all I own
To be back home again.  

To see the magpies flying,
In the honey locust trees.
To smell the clover blossoms,
In the early morning breeze.  

To see the hens a scratching,
For their feed at the break of day.
But the farm that I was raised on--
Is a thousand miles away.  

To get up in the morning,
And do the chores with Dad.
Oh let me live my life again,
Like when I was a lad.  

And how I miss Mom's breakfast--
Of ham and eggs and toast.
Of all the things I miss back home--
These things I miss the most.
