COME HOME

Ternic73

You promised me that you would come home

SO many nights I sit here alone

Until the day they knocked on the door

My legs gave out, I hit the floor

You promised me that you would come home

Now I will raise our child alone

My heart is broken beyond repair

I sit alone, look out the window and stare

I visit your grave everyday

Sit in silence, close my eyes and pray

A peaceful calm, relieves my tears

Your my angel now, you'll protect my fears

I lay a rose upon your grave

Another year without you, your love I crave

Everyday I try so hard to be brave.

I look at your picture, you said you would come home.

    HI TERESA ~ We've missed you ! Thanks for sharing this Poem. Good structure ~ six rhymng doublets ~ then a triplet and a final very sad line. *I look at your picture ~ you said you would come home*. The scanning is good and it does flow ! The subject is very sad (killed on Active Service) ~ Millions (mainly Men) were killed in WW2 ~ leaving a Generation of Single Mothers and Fatherless Children. That is the reality of a Global War ~ please pray to GOD that we will never experience another one ! Please check our site !
    Blessings & Peace & Joy
    Yours ~ BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
