Flying during major holidays
Is not the wisest choice
Advised my all too familiar
Still small voice
But it’s my dad’s birthday
And my mother’s too
I haven’t been home in months
It seemed like the thing to do
Now flight delays
Causing airport stays
Has me thinking
There has to be a better way
I was supposed to land
In Florida last night
But here I sit in Georgia
Still waiting for a flight
