Coming Back Home

Can't go home again? I hope that will not prove true Open arms will be welcoming; helping me pull through My heart was betrayed after I left. Now, I'm on my own Insecure and all alone; I'm lost and tossed... windblown Numbed by grief, I'll find relief among family and friends Grateful to journey back home, where my path wends. Being around familiar things will heal my wounded heart And I'll weave closed tattered seams that were split apart Chasing a dream was a mistake I'll never risk taking again Knowing my emotions were torn asunder. I loved in vain Home is a haven where I will find solace in each embrace Oasis in the desert of my pain; my roots... my birthplace May I never forget this time of homecoming while I grieve Exclaiming my thanks for the loving support I will receive February 13, 2021 Coming Back Home Contest Sponsored by John Hamilton
