My Light House

If I say tomorrow I will be coming home
Will you still hold the door for me
Door for me, have a welcome ceremony for me 


Will my keys open doors it entered, before I voyage 
Before I bequeath my heart to you, I will see you soon 
My sweet heart, soon enough, very soon enough


And if I buy flowers, tulips, will you get a vase
And keep it alive in moist, until I get back
I will be back, I promise very soon  


Will you hold the fort
Long enough, just long enough 
Until I cross these last paths and make it to you


Will you be there, in 14 days 
To receive the flowers I brought
Hear my adventures, and call me a hero


If I say, wait until tomorrow, just tomorrow
Will you still be my light house
For I will be looking out for your lighthouse
From the north sea

    The repetition adds to the urgency of this piece.

    I am quite impressed with your use of repetition here. It's quite something else altogether.

    How touching. Distance always makes the heart fonder, so does the fear of death and separation looming o'er.
