Almost Home

This walk is almost over
It draws to an end
Around this last corner
My creaky knees bend

But with home in sight
I can barely help not to jog
To meet the welcome party
Good ole Yellow Dog

And he sounds the alarm
To let everyone know
That I have gone to
And now finally fro

This house knows my pain
It is as tired as I
I could just head behind
To where my parents lie

I'm sure I'll be needed
For yet another day
Which reminds me
Of what Pa used to say

"The journey through life is long and hard"
"Just to be buried back in the yard"
