Reevaluating Proximity

A gentle surprise of abiding joy
overwhelms into brimming tears
Encapsulating bonds of love
and enduring miles and years.

We know not when we yet will meet
again in truth and light;
But in my soul a peace there rests
that Father holds you tight.

I know my place is distant still,
yet it's where I'm needed.
And so I leave you in His care
until back home I'm heeded.

Yesterday with the help of two cars, two planes, and BART, I made the trip back to Provo, Utah.  Walking the streets in the evening, I couldn't help but realize that this really does feel like home.  I will miss my family, but I rest assured knowing that while I am doing my best our here, they will be watched over by one who is more wise than I.
