Someday in the future I plan to go back home Visit friends and family I've been away for much too long My job keeps me so busy It's hard to get away But I'm really going to do it I just can't go today Vacation time is coming soon I think I'll do it then The wife and kids have other plans Once again I'm giving in The day has finally come I'm really on my way The phone rings as we're leaving My Mom has passed away Standing at her graveside I realize to my regret I'm finally in my home town But there is nothing left There is no home to visit I'm here but it's too late Through tears of sorrow and dismay I ask, Why did I wait?
Reason for writing:
Just thinking about how people procrastinate and cause such pain to others and themselves.
