Love Poem: Going Home

Going Home

Going home, going home,
To where it all began.
Leaving my army family life,
Back to the real family strife.

Going home, going home,
My heart gave out a groan.
Remembering when I had left,
Ten years on, feeling so bereft.

Going home, going home,
I never knew my father then,
I never knew my Dad above,
Never felt either's love.

Going home, going home,
Now I have more insight.
My earthly family, now all gone.
The Father's family and I are one.
I am home at last.
