This year was tough, a challenge to bear,
Missed y’all so much, words can’t compare.
Festivals came and birthdays went,
Each moment without you, heavily spent.

Through calls and screens, we stayed in touch,
But it never felt like it was enough.
The distance stretched, the days were long,
Yet in my heart, you’ve always belonged.

I’ve learned so much in this time away,
About myself, about life, in every way.
Above all else, one truth stands clear,
Family’s my treasure, my home, my sphere.

Now I look ahead, with love renewed,
To cherish the moments I’ve missed with you.
