It's been a while. I've been on computer ban for a month, that's part of it.

Here's a song for today:

When You Come Home
Mark Schultz

First day of recess, they all laughed at me
When I fell off the swingset and scraped up my knee.
The nurse called my Mama to say I'd be late,
And when she gave me the phone, I could hear Mama say:
"I'm so sorry, son. Oh, I think you're so brave."
And she was smiling when she said...

"When you come home, no matter how far,
Run through the door and into my arms.
It's where you are loved, it's where you belong,
And I will be here when you come home."

I waved good-bye through the window as I boarded the plane.
My first job in Houston was waiting for me.
I found a letter from Mama, tucked in my coat,
And as I flew down the runway, I smiled when she wrote:
"I'll miss you, son; you'll be so far away.
But I'll be waiting for the day...

When you come home, no matter how far,
Run through the door and into my arms.
It's where you are loved, it's where you belong,
And I will be here when you come home."

"Well, I don't think she can hear you now," the doctor told me.
"Your mother is fading; it's best that you leave."
So I whispered, "I love you," and then turned away.
But as I got to the door, I could hear Mama say:
"I love you, son, but they're calling me away.
Promise me before I go...

When you come home, no matter how far,
Run through the door and into my arms.
It's where you are loved, it's where you belong,
And I will be here when you come home,
When you come home."

The chorus to this reminds me of someone close to me who's away right now. I miss him terribly... I'll only be here for a couple weeks when he comes home.

Oh my goodness. Which reminds me of another song... I've written it in here before: "Smile" by Chris Rice.
