Poulson I can see you on the sea shore Gazing out across the foam I can fell your thoughts «wandering To your childhood days at home. You can see your mother standing In the little cottage door. And your Bud. and baby sister Playing games there, on the floor. You can see your dear old father As he saunters up the road You can see he's growing older For now, he carries all the load. You can hear the old cat purring And the humming of the bees, Hear the weeping willows whistling As the wind blows through the lea ves Your heart beats all the faster As you pray to Ood above. That you may hasten homeward To the dear ones that you love. You may think these days gone for ever As you ponder there alone. Thinking of the days gone by You have heartaches of your own. You long for a time that is coming When you'll be happy once again. And you'll see the smiling faces As you saunter up the lane. Yes. dear boy. you 11 find us waiting In a home, where love abides. For you we're sadly yearning. And pray Ood to be your guide.
