Come Home To Me Poem by Randy McClave

I want you to come straight home to me,
I want you to become my destiny,
I want us to stare at the same stars together
Then doing that, our fate no man can ever sever.
The tears with me that you will cry
They won't be caused by an if, or a who or a why,
Nor will they be caused by attempts to annoy
They will arrive, because of your happiness and joy.
I want you to walk happily through my front door
Then never in regret look back with a sadness, that I implore,
I know that if you were younger from hurt you'd quickly walk away
I now say please run, and then with me, please stay.
Life is too short and sometimes it can be very bitter
But, for you I am no deserter and never a quitter,
And if you ever want or need to shed a tear
I will wipe it away, that is if you are here.
