Nancy's Corner
I'm On My Way Home
by Nancy L. Fraley

Keep a light in the window;
I'm on my way home;
O'er land and seas and mountains,
Many days I did roam.

I searched daily for that pot of gold,
At the end of the rainbow, as I've been told;
All vain, turned to ashes, so terribly cold;
It was all so empty and got very old.

Now I hope to be forgiven,
To be taken back home;
I promise I'm cured of that lust
To selfishly, constantly, always roam.

We prodigals are hard to understand;
But I beg your forgiveness, please now;
Please do take me by the hand;
I promise to stay home and be your man.
