Across the seas, a heart departs,
Leaving behind the familiar art,
Of laughter, tears, and whispered dreams,
To chase the dawn where hope redeems.

Beneath foreign skies, the soul remains,
Laboring through the sun and rains,
Each day a step, each night a prayer,
For loved ones distant, yet still near.

The stories told in letters sent,
Of struggles faced and time well spent,
A tapestry of love and grace,
Woven in every cherished place.

Yet in the heart, the anchor holds,
To memories sweet and tales untold,
For though the journey may be long,
Home sings forever like a song.
