I Am Heading Home

I grabbed my razor and my comb Because, today I'm heading home, I have laid out my clean clothes on my bed And I still can't register it in my head. I looked at my mirror once again And I still can't shake off this silly grin, I'm still wearing a very happy face Which shows no sadness and no disgrace. I have been gone for so many long years There has been so much sadness and tears, But, now I'm full of hope and anxiety Because, I'm going home finally. I know that I have been gone way too long But, I see and I have done no wrong, I wonder if anyone truly misses me And I wonder if myself anyone will want to see. Will my parents and friends still be waiting Will my siblings still be debating, And will my car and my boat still be clean and parked And at me will my dogs have growled and barked. I still remember when I left that day And I still remember what myself and others did say, Then when I walked alone through the gate I then heard a voice scream, "I'll wait"! I wonder, if she'll be waiting there And I wonder if she'll still really does care, I swear no more will I need or want to roam Because, today I am heading home. Randy L. McClave
