Homeward Bound

I woke up this morning in the ICU.
I thought I had punched my one-way ticket to my next destination.
An unexpected journey returning me home to you.

I was homeward-bound
I wish I was homeward-bound
A home where my thoughts keep turning.
Home where my family’s waiting.
Home where my brother is advocating for me.

Every day, there’s a constant steam of distraction and agonies.
Every day feels the same to me, the indecision, and lack of vision.
Every person is a stranger to me, which still reminds me where I want to be.

Homeward-bound
I was homeward-bound
A home where my thoughts keep turning.
Home where my family’s waiting
Home where my brother is advocating for me.

Tonight, I’ll say my prayers again, repent of my imperfections, and seek to do your will.
In the morning, I seek your word and your guidance to start the day.
Hopefully improving upon yesterday’s fallacies and draw closer to my family today.

Homeward-bound
I was homeward-bound
A home where my thoughts keep turning.
Home where my family’s waiting.
Home where my brother is advocating for me.
