Miles Away

The future is promising

And blessings are abundant

Working hard to provide

Even it means being away... miles away from home.

There are moments of joy

We're not able to share

There are moments of worries

With no shoulder to cry on.

There are times of sickness

I feel not your warmth

But I have to be strong

for our kids and their future.

I wish you were here when nights are cold

Thinking of you always, missing you like crazy

 To be alone in bed

That's a sacrifice indeed

Just feel my embrace
I'll be holding you from afar

never dream for a hug

other than my caress.

Remember me on those

longing moments

With my words less spoken

But  my heart cries out loud.
