When Johnny Comes Marching Home

Listening to the loud wild commotion
mom runs on to
the front porch
shock to
see.

Her
Johnny
back from the
service; stretches
her arms and smothers him in her bosom.

Ahh!! Enjoyed reading this one. I can't imagine what it was like for moms who waited at home for the safe return of their sons and some daughters or hearing of their death in the war. I know it was hard on my mother to have one to serve in north Africa during WWII. Thanks for your visit. Sara

Having read this, my image would be that of the picture. You truly bring it to life. Eve.

Nothing like a returning soldier or their mother's love!
