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
