There's Nothing Like A Welcome Home

There's Nothing Like A Welcome Home

There's nothing like a welcome home 
That can fill our heart's with praise
That longing and awaiting moment
Just to see a familiar face
When love embraces with realism
We're welcomed just as we are
With the enthusiasm of the sharing of times
That once again will draw us near

The opening up of the heartstrings
Which is always music to our ears
The long awaited conversations
Sometimes which we've missed for years
There's nothing like companionship
With a flowing of great conversation
With a listening ear of pure content
And a keen sense of observation

God has blessed us with such emotions
So that we might be the blessing
To be the friend that others would seek
With whom to share of our deepest confessions 
Such is the Father’s want for us
That we might be embraced by Him
And welcomed home by those loving arms
Who can grant the forgiveness for sin...

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
