Far from home, but never far from love
I have no crowd, no circle, no friends, Yet I keep walking until each day ends. I do not seek comfort in smoke or in drink, I sit with my thoughts and quietly think. In a distant land beneath unfamiliar skies, I hide my loneliness behind my eyes. My family lives across the sea, My children grow where I cannot be. I work, I wait, I silently strive, Holding on to the love that keeps me alive. No loud celebrations, no evening cheer, Only memories I hold so dear. The hardest battles are often unseen, Fought in the spaces that lie in between. I crossed oceans not to chase wealth alone, But to build a future for the hearts I call home. Though I walk this foreign land all by myself each day, I know God walks beside me, guiding every step along the way. I sacrifice my today for their tomorrow, Carrying both hope and sorrow. Distance may separate and oceans may divide, But my love for them will always be my guide. I trust God’s timing, though the road feels long...
