Come Home Soon

Monday marks two weeks since Jason left on his first of probably many more cross country trips.  Wow, it seems like I haven't seen him in a few months!  I have lots of post ideas in my mind about this and all of the things I've learned about myself and our relationship and about being a mom and a wife and a single mom and a full time working mommy and...you get the picture.  But I'm still having trouble putting them together and I still don't have enough time to put them together.  But I was listening to a SheDaisy CD in the car last week and this song came on.  I'm pretty sure it's about a woman whose husband is in the army, but I'm pretty sure it fits pretty dang well in this situation too.  And I think I was completely justified in crying while I listened too!


Come Home Soon
I put away the groceries
And I take my daily bread
I dream of your arms around me
As I tuck the kids in bed

I don't know what you're doin'
And I don't know where you are
But I look up at that great big sky
And I hope you're wishin' on that same
bright star

I wonder, I pray

And I sleep alone
I cry alone
And it's so hard livin' here on my own
So please, come home soon
(Come home soon)

I know that we're together
Even though we're far apart
And I'll wear our lucky penny 'round my neck
Pressed to my heart

I wonder, I pray

I still imagine your touch
It's beautiful missing something that much
But sometimes love needs a fighting chance
So I'll wait my turn until it's our turn to dance

I wonder, I pray

I sleep alone
I cry alone
Without you this house is not a home
So please, come home soon

I walk alone
I try alone
I'll wait for you, don't want to die alone
So please, come home soon

Come home soon
Come home soon
