Coming home in the rain
To my home again
My kids, my wife.
The heart of my life
I feel each drop’s a kiss
Not given those who miss
The warmth of folks,
Familiar jokes…
I’m living again.
It’s peaceful now. The afternoon is still.
The street is quiet. Voices very dear
Reach up the stairs...
I leave you – back there – a dozen miles away
A journey of great length –
Hours till we meet...
