The Road Home By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
Through the old screen door
Her tired eyes widened
As she watched the familiar figure
Drawing closer to the house
Even from a great distance
It was easy to see
The way he meandered
Was a walk that was his alone
Years before a pledge was made
That someday he would return
And now… after the war was over
His home grew larger with each step
It was like a dream she had many times
During the days, months and years
That had passed so quietly
A dream that she knew would come true
And though she could not see his face
Or hear his voice from so far away
She could feel his smile
Lighting the road back home
