Away Poem by Ray Hansell

You're going on a journey
To a land far away
But just for a short while
Are you going to stay

It is such a different place
Then the place that you call home
But I can say that while you're gone
My heart will beat alone

You won't be here for me to hold
You lips I cannot kiss
But for you I have just
One important wish

I hope you return home safe
I hope all goes well
Because while you're away
I'll be living in hell
