I am coming home...

As I see the darkening sky

And birds flying to their nest

I can feel a tug in my heart

To go home and rest.

I long for my mother's lap

And the hearty laugh of my dad

As the sun falls below the skyline

This yearning makes me grow sad.

I long for the sweet quarrels with my sis

And the wise advices of my bro

As I see people happily going home

For home, my longing grows.

I long to walk through my garden

And play with my dear dog and doves

I long to sit near the kitchen fire

And bathe in the warmth of family love.

But as I step out into the crowded street

And look at the faces unfamiliar and my heart forlorn

I can feel tears welling my eyes

And O' I miss home.

I have stayed away this far

But now I want to be with people my own

I now am alone and I want to be home

Mom, Dad I am coming home.
