Welcome Back! Welcome Back!


Like a bottle with nothing in it

Like a vase with no flowers

Like a house with no occupants

Like clouds with no showers

There's something missing, when friends and family who are dear to me are away, or we are not in touch.

So welcome back, welcome back!
Welcome back into my life, welcome back to being in touch.

Like a lamp with no light shining from it

Like a tree with no leaves

Like a song with no music accompanying it

Like a flower with no bees

There's something missing when friends and family who are dear to me are away, or out of touch.

So welcome back, welcome back!
Welcome back into my life, welcome back to being in touch.

Like a cup with no handle

Like a kite with no breeze

Like a fireplace with no flames burning in it

Like a park with no trees

There's something missing when friends and family who are dear to me are away, or out of touch.

So welcome back, welcome back!
Welcome back into my life, welcome back to being in touch.

Like a bow with no arrow

Like butter with no bread

Like a pen with no paper

Like a needle with no thread

There's something missing when friends and family who are dear to me are away, or out of touch.

So welcome back, welcome back!
Welcome back into my life, welcome back to being in touch.

For everyone who is dear to me

Know that when we are not in touch, or you are away

I can't wait for us to catch up again

You are greatly missed, and it's always wonderful to be able to say...

Welcome back! Welcome back!
A warm welcome back!

Dear Reader: The inspiration of this poem was the return of a dear friend to the Bay Area. But it is for each and everyone of you, who is dear to me.  This poem gives you an idea of how I feel when you are away, or we've been out of touch for a while. And how absolutely wonderful it is to be able to say, "welcome back" or "great to catch up with you again" ðŸ˜Š
