A Light.


  • A light placed on a windowsill,
  • To guide you home to me,
  • When all around is dark and still,
  • From any distance you will see.
  • The home you left so long ago,
  • You broke a Mother’s heart.
  • Now when I am old and slow,
  • Return and make a fresh start.
  • My arms have ached for many years,
  • Once more to hold you tight.
  • To keep away those unknown fears,
  • There are no more battles to fight.
  • All alone I long for the day,
  • When you will return to your home.
  • This is all I have to say,
  • You have no need to roam.
  • A Mother’s love lasts forever,
  • Of forgiveness you may be sure.
  • Nothing can my love sever,
  • Come home to my ever open door.
