COMING HOME

COMING HOME

It had been the adventure of a lifetime,
the flight to Alaska's wild frontier.
The mountains stood in awesome splendor
against a beautiful blue sky, perfectly clear.

I shall remember the beauty of the countryside
in years to come, without a single doubt;
Ice-capped peaks, the winding roads that lead
the travelers who are coming in and going out.

Time to leave, another vacation ending
as I board the plane, once more alone.
I sit in silence with my memories
Once again I am coming home.
