You Can Always Come Home
I didn’t end up on your doorstep
like some babies,
You knew I was on my way,
You were ready for me.
You loved me and gave me a wonderful name.
When I left you,
You prayed for God to bring me home,
I came home different,
You loved me the same as if I never left.
When I graduated high school, I left home,
I became sick at college my freshman year,
You brought me home,
You loved me the same as always,
When I wanted to visit family in NY,
Things didn’t go so well,
You said I could come home,
You loved me as if I never left.
You left me in North Carolina,
My home moved with you all,
I always dressed up to visit,
I longed for home!
I loved calling you every day,
The calls became shorter,
When you became ill,
I couldn’t be by your side like Dad,
I prayed for God to bring you home,
Heaven was ready for you,
God brought you home!
I will always love you, Mom!
I wrote this to honor the memory of my Mom because of her birthday passing and Mother's day coming up.
