Notes About The Poem

Coming Back Home

Clinging to intimate family ties
Outstretching love the soul never denies
My heart yearns for home*, priceless and precious
Inspired by dear parents, indeed gracious
Now missing great times, spirit-nourishing
Geared am I for revival ~~~ flourishing…

Braced by secured belongingness fortress
Affirming needed respite from distress
Comfort of home beckons me along hope
Kindling childhood times of triumphant scope…

Here am I, yielding to home’s call, so warm
Offering peace-filled care of vibrant charm
Meeting me just as I am with cheer’s zeal
Expecting my presence for bonding seal.

*Ruth 1:21 … I went out…, and the LORD hath brought me home again…
