Summer of Verses - Poem 11 - Going Home

By: John E. Murray, III


We don’t want to leave,

We just need to go home…

We hope you understand the brevity of our stay,

It is always too short…

We hope that you will visit us,

And, stay longer next time…

We don’t want to leave,

We just need to go home…

We hope you will visit us via voice or video

Over the next few months…

We hope that the distance parts only time zones,

But, moves us closer when next we stop by…

We don’t want to leave,

We just need to go home…

We hope together is greater as the arrows pass us by,

Leading us to a shorter distance…

We hope that dropping by is easier

Than engaging in a trek and expense…

We don’t want to leave,

We just need to go home…

Thank you, See you soon.
