Bring him home
don't leave him
out in the cold
wrap him warm
clothe him
in his favourite
Man U
tee shirt
and blue
creased jeans
bring our son home
bring him back
from the far lands
the places
of failure
and disappointments
and flat lining heart
bring him
back home
let the bugler play
let him play alone
to reach
our broken hearts
and stir
our tired minds
lift up the blinds
let in the sun
let it warm
his cold hands
and ease
the closed lids
of his eyes
bring him back
bring back
our son
let him
be with us
once more
back
from the dark place
home
from the distant land
bring him home
as fast as you can
bring back our son
and special man.
