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.
