A friend has asked me to place his poem here from a site, yay! This is a good duty and I am glad I can do this for that person. Anyways, Imma poll it. Hey, I like to have a little fun lol So, hope you all enjoy reading it. btw, as simple as it seems I had to actually ask about its meaning. Let me know if you can get the meaning of it. After getting responses, I will ask that friend if I can tell it cause it's burning my tongue lmao

Leaving home (Friend)

Leaving home, I wonder when,
If I am to be home again.
The road is long, the years go by,
a tear drop rushes from my eye.
To see his face, to hear his voice,
I'm sorry, Dad, it was my choice.
Years are long and memories fade,
I want you to see the life I've made.
I hear his cries, I come to see,
I feel I'm you, when that was me.
I only hope He'll love me, too,
just the way that I love you.
If you could see him, you'd agree,
that little face is you and me.
Leaving home, I wonder when,
if I will ever hear your voice again.

@JustMeAndYou77: it is a very good poem, it invokes some nice images and emotions... I think I might kinda see what it's about, but shall wait to see what others think.

Awe that was great. A child to a father. We always wonder and want our parents to see are choices in life and most times we have to do them alone. Very touching.

Thank you so much brats! :) You really come close because, yes, the relationship is between a father and son as well as our choices in life. There is also a deeper surprise in it though.
