I'm Already There

Travis Kimura was in his hotel room just staring at the phone wondering if he should call his family. "They would probably think something is wrong but would be happy to hear from me," he said to himself. So he picked up the phone and dialed the number and Laura answered. He heard his kids when she answered. He started to cry.

~He called her on the road From a lonely cold hotel room Just to hear her say I love you one more time And when he heard the sound Of the kids laughing in the background He had to wipe away a tear from his eye.~

"Hello," Laura had said when she answered. Travis replied with a shaky hello, due to the fact that he was crying. Laura was happy, but worried, so she called their 5-year-old daughter and gave her the phone. The first thing that little girl said was," Hi! Daddy, when are you coming?" Travis then said the first thing that came to his mind.

~A little voice came on the phone Said, " Daddy, when you coming home?" He said the first thing that came to his mind.~

Travis had said," I'm already there."

~I'm already there. Take a look around I'm the sunshine in your hair I'm the shadow on the ground I'm the whisper in the wind I'm your imaginary friend. And I know, I'm in your prayers Oh, I'm already there~

Laura had gotten back on the phone and was crying this time. She managed to say," I miss you and don't worry about the kids, they'll be okay." Travis just replied in a broken voice," I miss you as well." Then Travis said," Wish I was right beside you, but I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight."

~She got back on the phone And said," I really miss you, darling. Don't worry 'bout the kids they'll be alright." "Wish I was in your arms, lying right there beside you. But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight And I'll gently kiss your lips Touch you with my fingertips. So turn out the light and close your eyes."~

Then Travis said exactly what he said to his daughter," I'm already there."

~I'm already there Don't make a sound I'm the beat in your heart I'm the moonlight shining down I'm the whisper in the wind And I'll be there till the end Can you feel the love that we share? Oh, I'm already there.~

Then Travis soothingly said," I'm always with you."

~We may be a thousand miles apart But I'll be with you wherever you are.~

~I'm already there Take a look around I'm the sunshine in your hair I'm the shadow on the ground. I'm the whisper in the wind And I'll be there till the end Can you feel the love that we share? Oh, I'm already there.~

~Oh, I'm already.~

~There.~

Travis then said to his wife," I love you and goodbye." Laura said goodbye and hung up. Travis hung the phone up and cried himself to sleep.
