Please Come Home Soon. Poem by David Boyce

Please come home soon.

I will comfort you when it's needed,
Don't look up at night at the moon,
Don't sleep upon the streets,
Please come home soon.

I will help to cloth you,
To help to keep you warm,
Please return safely,
To the comfort of a home.

There is no need for starvation,
There is no need for drink,
There is no need for sleeping rough,
Or for letting your clothes to stink.

If there's been an argument,
Forget it we won't be mad,
Come home safely now,
To the love of Mam and Dad.

There is no reason to suffer,
Sleeping in the cold and rain,
No matter whatever the reason,
Please contact home again.
