Poetry by Bern. 
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.
