Returning Home

Returning Home

A mother caresses

Sharing our pain and successes

With brother's loyalty united

The tears unbearable, all to be reunited

These gentle looks, a sigh of relief

Pain vanishes, letting go of the grief

Memories refill, everything we adored

Whole again, a pack once more

Never letting go, tomorrow can wait

This moment, a dream, it's our welcomed fate

All we had, all that remains

A bond that ties us, that flows in our veins

Strength needs patience, as it arrives

With one event, changes all these lives

Together we rive above, alone we sink below

Tragedy, mistakes, is how this family grows

Take my hand, the fight doesn't stop

A storm subsiding, but the rain always drops

Afraid and lost, words that are locked away

Black and white, my kin are the needed gray

Our hearts filled, our stories will be told

Love doesn't fade, it all waits on hold

Born into acceptance, raised into affection

Returning home, is the meaning of perfection
