You Can Come Home Now

Coming home to yourself

48
You Can Come Home Now
Laura Peck

Each morning is a new opportunity,

You can come home now.

Each step away is never too far,

You can come home now.

No matter what you have done or have neglected to do,

You can come home now,

You are welcome here.

"Welcome home," the Voice of Love says.

Come home to where you are safe and sound, where nothing can trap you or bring forth mountains of fear.

You can come home now, you are safe here.

And if you've been away, gone off like the Prodigal Son, you can still come home,

Now is better than ever.

You can come home now,

There are open arms waiting for you.

Arms out wide, we welcome you back in.

Welcome back to you,

The you that was made by the Creator of all things,

The you that has a purpose far beyond anything you could ever dream up, the you that houses the Living, the Divine.

Because guess what?

You were made good,

And you have always been good.

Come back home, let yourself be embraced and loved,

There is nothing too dirty, there is nothing too raw, there is nothing too much or too little,

Just as you are,

You are welcomed home.

You can come home to yourself now, to the you that you were created to be.

Rest in the arms of love,

These arms never fail, they are always holding you.

You can come home to yourself now, you can come home to love.

Thanks be to God.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
