James Foulk Poet Free verse

My Journey Home

My journey home is closer today,

than it was yesterday.

Someday my heart aches and pain

will pass me by.

My journey home will be a

most beautiful trip,like no one

has ever taken before.

Mother has been waiting for me,

there on those goldend shores,

ever since her parting from this old world

many years ago.

Taking one day at a time,

until I take my

journey home, when I sit down

with my Lord and thank Him

for what he did for me

on Calvary that day so long ago.

Audrey Haick April 28, 2011 at 5:51 PM I am still smiling after reading this true testament of your lovely faith, James. Brings tears to my eyes as I can't wait to see my Mama also. God bless you! Always, Annalise

Wilma Neels April 27, 2011 at 10:18 AM A really beautiful write James, so touching and I love how you ended it too.. Knowing that God made it all possible for us..

Matt Hunt April 27, 2011 at 1:01 AM You know James, I don't often admit this, but this poem really hit me hard. It might have to do with being a CNA and remembering some last moments with people, or missing my own grandparents. This is a remarkable work of art you have written my friend. Thank you so much for all your kind reviews and please continue to write. You have a gift like no other. God Bless. R.M.

Andrea Dietrich April 26, 2011 at 11:31 PM Of course, I would not want you to change THIS one. but you could put these same ideas into a senryu and enter that Mother's day contest!!
