Why does it take so long to see?

Too long, too far
         I’ve been away
A son’s duties
         I have spurned
I’ve grown and aged
         For many a day
A man’s lessons
         I have learned
From boy to man
         I found the way
But in my heart
         Still something burned
Yes now I know
         I daily pray
‘Tis for my parents
         That I’ve yearned
