It’s been 18 months
Since you have left
Our loving home

To give it a whirl
To make on your own
To be miss independent

All I can do
Is think and wonder
What you are doing

I pray to God
Every day and night
That he keep you safe

I can only hope
That someday you
Will return

Because all I
Yearn for
Is one great big hug

Scott Austin
