The long way home

Have a happy New year everybody.

The Long Way Home.

Been to many places in this space God gave too me.
Lived life to the fullest as far as I can see.
Searched out every crevice and took what was there too take
But still searching for an answer to the mistakes that I did make

Its a long way home my father said if you wander from the nest
Set your goals beforehand and always try too do your best
Never waiver from the principles of what I taught you Son
Least your life becomes a burden and brings a curse on everyone

Its not easy to record your life that has had so many ups and downs
The path, not always a bed of roses, as I've wandered town to town
Mistakes I've made are plenty but in servitude I've learned.
That errors in my judgment are now a badge of honour earned.

If what I've done has meant some hardship for another soul
Then ashamed I hang my head and beg forgiveness too unfold
I've tracked this path for reasons for I knew it was in my heart
To give back to those I might have wronged another start

Its a long way home my father said if I'm constantly mending fences
Keep on the straight and narrow Son and away from those offenses.
Repair your errors as you go, don't leave a job half done.
Rest not on your achievements, make me proud that your my son.

Well I've tried to do the best I could but I know I've fallen short
I know at times I've waivered but a gallant fight I've fought
But until my final call is rung and wherever I may roam.
I'll try appease my fathers wish and make my way back home.

G'day Noel,

Hoping you and Isabell have a safe and Happy New Year.
Keep up the volunteering, because if you stop half of New South Wales will grind to a standstill.
