The Homecoming Date: Saturday, 8th March 2014 @ 08:41:12 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: voices-ghost The Homecoming At one time I stood tall among the crowd My head held high and my voice clear and loud Several years spent building bonds that should stand the test of time Was it all real or just some wishful thinking in my own mind? Events and life had pulled me away I always had thoughts of returning one day Worried about how I would be viewed and how it would go Kept me held at bay, my face afraid to show Recent conversations and requests have caused me to rethink things So a quiet homecoming was set into motion, no fanfare or bling A kind words and comments that were properly shared Stirred the memories of those awaking memories of one who once cared A simple smile on the face of one who understands lifts a weary heart It quietly welcomes me home to the place where I got my start Wide open arms of those who knew me the best Gives this old ghost hope that the bonds have withstood the test Voice’s Ghost 3/8/2014 This poem is Copyright © voices-ghost Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
