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. written 4-24-11

Nice poem. Thank You for reading mine. I write my poems but I’m not a poet I don’t understand poems and I know it Here I am reading and trying to understand This is hard for me, it’s much a demand Most all my poems come from my heart The poems are with love and stand apart I post my poems for people to see I know your comments are to help me My past poems are fact and true I appreciate your help and thank you

Inspirational James.. makes one think of our final destination ..for each of us.. beautiful expressions luv.. well I don't recall the gas being that cheap in 1966 ..I was only 7 so did not pay much attention back then.. but loving that decade where everyone seemed so happy and carefree and the music was so great and everyone was kinder way back then.. has progress changed us that much luv?

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.

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!!
