The Arrival

For so long I have waited
it seemed like an eternity
Anticipation fired my emotion
Longing filled my senses
My Heart ached to be HOME

Funny thing I never traveled
Not in real time to speak
but in my mind and dreams
My desires left unfulfilled
Something was missing
My Heart ached to be HOME.

As I reminisce about my life
wondering often what it lacked
Not quite figuring it out
I was content and successful
A good Mother and friend but
My Heart ache to be HOME.

The arrival of your friendship
which has grown into our Love
One that has made me journey
Finding all that I have missed
My Heart aches no more
In your arms I am HOME.


Todd, I dedicate this to you, My True Love.  A house does not make a HOME. What makes a HOME is where the HEART is. And My Heart is with you.. Always, Forever and then some.

Beautiful, and so very true.   The heart shall always know home.

To capture and live a moment is truly living

What a nice conclusion to this poem!  I'm surprised I didn't see it coming, because it is so very fitting.  I'm glad you've found home.  btw, my Mom is from Lunenburg County.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

hey you... nice to see your name here..
and very nice to see you writing of happy endings.
Wonderful outpouring and dedication


Heaven bound on wings of love,
there's so much that you can rise above.
I surrender heart and soul,
sacrificed to a higher goal.
