A mom said wait until your dad comes home
to the army kid silently waiting in calculated anticipation
A mom said wait until your dad comes home
to the bad kid waiting nervously on the couch
A mom said wait until your dad comes home
to the outgoing kid that had never met his father
A mom said wait until your dad comes home
to the baseball enthusiast who couldn't wait for tonight's catch
A mom said wait until your dad comes home
to the kid who only saw him when the law allowed
A mom said wait until your dad comes home
to a 21 year old man who was about to meet him for the first time
A mom said wait until your dad comes home
to the kid wondering if he'd get at least a comment tonight
A mom said wait until your dad comes home
and someone cared
