You might call it a promise
Or maybe just a wish
To be home this Christmas
With those I truly miss

Home is where the heart is
It’s more than a cliché
It’s somewhere that I dream of
Each and every day

Somewhere in the distance
Somewhere in my mind
It’s there that I must journey
It’s you that I will find

So wait for me my darling
I’m sure I’ll find a way
I’m coming home to see you
In time for Christmas day

About the Poem Home for the Holidays

The poem Home for the Holidays is about an elderly man missing his wife and thinking he may be joining her by Christmas.

Inspirational Poetry Books

Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products

While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
