Homecoming
















The Kansas sun rises
Yes, pull in the drive
The family dog on a dead run to greet you
Homemade pancakes with warm syrup
The same spot at the table
Bearhugs hello
A long kiss from your sweetheart
Smiles shining
Stories to tell
A church where you know every face
And the minister knows your first name
A handshake from grandpa
A pie baked by grandma
A child tackles you for hello
You control the remote
A favorite pillow beneath you
Home at last.
