Homecoming

The homecoming. 

I come home appa, carrying a heavy heart. 

I come home for you, to do my bit part. 

I have left behind everything else that is me.

I bring home just your daughter you see.

For even though I always knew, now surer than ever, I know.

You were my strength always, what's left of it, and will be for ever more. 

You are everything in me that is good and kind

You are the only faith I carry in my heart and mind.

You are the courage with which I tackle every strife

Your unflinching devotion to us, still powers my life.

You are my roof, my shelter, my sky,

You are the comfort on a stormy night.

You are part of every memory I carry, old and new.

I exist, because I love you.

If I ever had to live again, I would without a second thought.

But only if you were my appa again, otherwise not.
