I walk a strange path
full of trial and triumph.
Though the road is long,
and the trek be tiresome,
I will persevere
Here on the Homeward Journey.
Tides of memories wash by
reminding me of the past.
Her beautiful lilac eyes,
her soft caressing laugh.
A sweet soft sound reaches my ears,
Here on the Homeward Journey.
Their laughs, they beckon me;
Her dare-devil's grin, her timid smile,
Her accented greetings, her graceful beauty,
Her energetic laughter, her friendly aura,
They heal my broken heart
Here on the Homeward Journey.
Tired is my soul,
weary from my travels.
I seek refuge in them,
their loyalty, laughter and kindness,
their honesty, generosity, and magic,
Here on the Homeward Journey.
I see them clearly now,
ahead in the distance.
They run and embrace me with love;
I cry into their shoulders.
They whisper that I am safe, that I have finished
That I have finished the Homeward Journey.
