Coming Back Home

City, after city fades One more night dreaming of home Morning arrives and my weeping cascades I am tired of this journey and my solitary roam Now, I realize how much I love you Gathering my strength I pray our love is still true Beautiful memories of us come out of the blue And I wander the crowded streets cold to the bone Can you wait for me I am coming home, I groan Keep sending you messages, oh I am so alone Hoping and praying to the Lord above Oh wait, I will be home soon my love My heart is weary but also full of joy Eager to see you- worried love I did not destroy __________________________ February 9, 2021 Poetry/Rhyming Acrostic/COMING BACK HOME Copyright Protected, ID 02-1327-299-09 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Inspiration - Michael Buble's song Home Written for the Standard contest, COMING BACK HOME sponsor, John Hamilton, Judged 03/07/2021 Third Place

You capture so well the fear we have when we've been away and wonder if the loved one left at home still wants us. Beautifully written, my friend! Congratulations on your win in John's contest. Hugs, Carolyn
