Coming Home

When she was a little girl

and daddy went away

She would anticipate his return

each and every day

and when from window, door or stoop

she would see him from afar

out she would run to greet him

as he stepped out of the car

deep in his pockets her little hands

would search until she found

the treasure he would bring her

that he bought while traveling around

Then up in his arms he would sweep her

and a kiss she would plant on his face

and there was no sweeter thing to him

then returning to that place



Year after year as time would fly

on trip after trip he would go

every time she was there to greet him

inch upon inch she would grow


(to be continued)
