SOMEDAY.....

SOMEDAY.....


He waved goodbye to Mommie
As the school bus pulled away
She watched as it turned the curve
Said to herself: "Someday!"
Someday she could sleep in late
Someday she'd come and go
Do just as she pleased in life
But now she watched him grow.

He met her hand to do high-fives
As she loaned him the car
He had a special girlfriend now
She hope they wouldn't go far!
She said to herself: "Someday"
He'll be through school and gone
She'd have the car and the house
It wouldn't be very long.

He threw a kiss from the plane
His uniform looked so smart
She wiped a little tear away
Prayed aloud in the dark.
She said to herself: "Someday"
She might find time for her
She reached for her Bible
And loved the way things were.

But the old house was too quiet
She kept busy just the same
But missed hearing "Mum"
Her one and only name.
Then two years disappeared
He'd be home very soon
She cooked his favourite foods
Straightened up his old room.

The Military car pulled up outside
Her heart caught in her throat
Surely God was teasing her
She threw on her old coat;
She ran outside in the snow
As the doors opened wide
And flew into his open arms
Her son, her joy, her pride!

He waved goodbye to Mother
As he borrowed her new car
A grown up man he was now
Who'd traveled near and far;
One day soon he'd marry
But until that happy day
She'd love, protect and keep him
And never say, "Someday".
