Come back home o wandering daughter
Come to the embrace of your waiting father
Come to the open arms of your loving mother
The home where you had joy without vendetta

The world outside is cold and spitting
Full of wolves ravening and serpents biting
Filled with desperate folks who look inviting
But whose hearts are depraved with all manners desecrating

He has created you with painstaking precision
Modelled to His image with delicate additions
With an appearance that defies every opposition
You are destined for a glorious life of commendation

Your body, like a tree beside the river, is patterned to prosper
Made for His son, redeemed, refined and accomplished
Not for the proud brute and beast whose way is abolished
Who had nothing but an impression of life improper

Consultation with a nonnative is a debacle
Paths to success always come with doors and obstacles
And must be confronted with all possible tentacles
Only believe in your Creator the only Oracle

So come back home o wandering daughter
Let's bond, commune and plan together
Come to the warm embrace of your waiting father
And the open arms of your loving mother

Hey man, come back soon! The warmth of your family's arms is calling. Don't let the world outside get you down—your home is where you belong. Let’s reunite and embrace those tender memories again.

Hey there! The poem really resonates with me. It speaks about coming back home, which I can relate to after time away. The imagery of trees thriving by the river reminds me of stability and growth. The mention of redemption and God's image adds a spiritual depth that's comforting. It's a beautiful balance between resilience and personal transformation.

The poem really touches on something universal—homecoming and family bonds. It's a beautiful reminder of the importance of belonging and peace after wandering. I can see how this might resonate with anyone who feels like they're missing their roots or have had moments where they long for that connection again.
