Home Again
His trip took him across many miles
That might have seemed unending -
But he did not notice.
His flight was uneventful
And should have been quite peaceful -
But he did not notice.
The roads traversed green countryside
And might have looked serene -
But he did not notice.
The people gathered close around
And could have made him self-conscious -
But he did not notice.
The words spoken were kind and grateful
And should have been most comforting -
But he did not notice.
He was home again at last,
A true hero and patriot -
To rest forever in eternal stillness.
