I saw the reunion played Out again today. A soldier returned home To surprise his little boy Who was sitting at a desk In school. He was totally unaware That his father was Sneaking up behind Him When their eyes met, Mine got wet. The dad scooped up His son and they Clung together not Wanting to let go. No matter how many Homecomings I've seen, I choke up every time. Nothing beats a soldier Coming home. I tried to imagine the Welcome my soldier got. But my mind is too small, And the celebration just Too big for me to Comprehend. I'll just have to wait For Jack to tell me About it himself. (And hope that someone Recorded it.) |
