COMING HOME

by Stewart Mackinder.(c)2009.

-------

Through the grapevine I heard that you had taken ill,

But I still stayed away working hard - untill,

I heard that you suddenly passed away in pain,

Heartbroken I fell to my knees sobbing in the pouring rain.

------

I had been away for many a year,

Now I'm coming home to shed more than a tear,

Although we were many miles apart,

Rose, my darling you were always in my heart.

------

I will never forgive myself for staying away,

Trying to make more money for us on a rainy day,

Now I'm bringing home-a red Rose bud for you,

Full of my tears and not of the morning dew.

----------

This idea came from a painting I bought

from a great friend -who not long ago passed away.

----------

God bless You.
