Homecoming

Too many were the years that went by

too long since their last embrace

so many things had happened to them

now here they are face to face.

The heartbreak hurt inside his chest

the pain a wrench on her soul

so much time they could never get back

precious memories that circumstance stole.

For as long as he could remember

the smile on his face hadn’t shone

and she could not think of a time

when her heart hadn’t carried this stone.

They had went about their lives each day

and days turned into years

they both had carried much sorrow

they both had shed countless tears.

Now the hour at last had come

the time was finally here

she ran into his welcoming arms

he held her near and dear.

They looked over one another carefully

couldn’t believe how much they’d changed

they smiled and walked into his home

where stories and laughs were exchanged.

As I watch and listen in wonder

at the miracle happening before me

my heart so happy, my smile so wide

so thankful for the opportunity to see.

Two people finding each other after so long

the story a dream come true

and I think this is what heaven must be

a homecoming of family and life anew.

The gracious love of our creator

finally bringing us home

at last safe in the arms of his love

no more as orphans to roam.

This poem is based on a true story, one in which I was blessed to see and so proud to behold…..I have been so inspired and lifted up by this joyous occasion, that I had to write a tribute , and mark it in remembrance, sealing the time with words that will be read and felt, carrying on the memory into eternity and to the threshold of the city of our God and creator…….

Thank you for reading
