-COMING HOME-

I’ve climbed a mountain,
sailed the lakes
I’ve taken chances,
some high stakes.
I’ve had my chance to
stray and roam
And now at last I’m
coming home.
.
I’ve jumped from
aircraft, skied the slopes
Pursued some dreams,
desires and hopes
I’ve tilled the clay, the
sand, the loam
And now at last I’m
coming home.
.
I’ve walked the desert,
hiked the trails
I’ve ridden horses,
tossed some bales
Learned of the sky from
Adler’s dome
And now at last I’m
coming home.
.
I’ve crossed the country
east to west
I’ve watched the clouds
from Teton’s crest
I’ve been to Oslo, never
Rome
And now at last I’m
coming home.
.
I’ve been a babe with
loving mom
I’ve been a kid with dad
so calm
I’ve been a teen with
hair to comb
And now at last I’m
coming home.
