Hello. Goodbye.

Tickets are bought
Thousands of miles flown
Back to a place that once was a home.
Houses are cleaned
Meals are cooked
Arms open wide
Hello! Hello!

Stories are shared
Questions are asked
Laughter roars
Eyes leak
Hearts open wide
Hello! Hello!

The meals are done
Kids are tired
It's time to leave
Arms open wide and heart bleeds
Goodbye. Goodbye.

They walk toward the gate
Kisses are blown
And then they are gone again
to the place called home
Goodbye. Goodbye.
