Away From Home

I was taught to be tough 

by the obstacles in life

Hardened thoroughly by all the hardships

But not my heart nor my soul

I was wearing an armour of God's word as a protection 

I am doing everything to survive.

Yet still killing me inside.

The sounds of their laughter's 

Their sweet voice in the phone

The memories of being home

Tears flows, unstoppable

My heart hiccupping, yearning!

Thirst from their warm hugs

Longing their sweet caressed hands in my back

It is really is not easy to be miles away.

Someday I will be home

I will be with the people I love

I will laugh with them

I will sing a good song 

I will be embrace again

I will be with my family

Where love begins and never ends
