RETURNING SON

It’s 4 am and it is time to get up for work

Thinking how my dad must be a jerk

The sun hasn’t even start to rise

So why do I know that it’s no good to be surprise

There is fog in the air and wet dew on the ground

When I look at my dad while he has a huge frown

I look at my dad and tell him someday I will be leaving

But I know it broke his heart and can tell that he was grieving

The tractor was ready to work in the field

Hoping that the seeds will give us a good yield

Now the years have passed and I graduating from high school

As dad said the knowledge you learned no one can call you a fool

So now I am sitting at my desk while looking at the screen

To realize that this wasn’t my ultimate dream

So I have decided to pack and head for home

To the land so beautiful where the buffalo use to roam

I can see my dad standing on the porch with a smile on his face

As we hug each other he says let’s give God some grace

While we sit and talk at the kitchen table

He said that I remind him of a man called Able

God has given me the sense to wait for this time

So my son let’s get into the field and make a dime
