My Beloved Uncle

My beloved uncle,
You have blessed me with laughter.
Why must you leave?

My beloved uncle,
These months with you gone,
Fills my heart with worry.
Please come home.

My beloved uncle,
I miss you terribly.
Come back home, again.
Don’t make me hurt.

My beloved uncle,
Did you get my letter?
Can you see my tears?
We all miss you.

My beloved uncle,
You’ve been gone for so long.
When are you coming home?

My beloved uncle,
Now that you’re home,
My heart beats with joy,
The air fills with laughter.
Thank you for coming home safe.
We’re glad you’re all right.
My beloved war hero of an uncle.
