Come Home Kim

The day my daughter returns my heart will be made whole again

Call me up dear Kim
Though just wisp or whim
Take our love off dim
My life on trial
No longer cruel
Malice as fuel
Kim my jewel
The end denial

When you said, "please stay."
My soul stole away
No kind voice to say
Now can love be whole?
Eyes on old commons
My heart now summons
From where your love runs
Nearer to my soul
