"Awaiting His Return"

She sits alone and waits all day
With nothing to do but hope and pray
For over a year it has been this way
Awaiting his return

She listens and looks for a sign to show
That he is home and she will know
He'll keep her heart from sinking low
Awaiting his return

No clicks of horses' hooves are heard
No nearby neighbor brings the word
She begins to feel her hope absurd
Awaiting his return

Papers filled with news of the war
Things seem worse than they were before
From her eyes the tears do pour
Awaiting his return

Another year has come and past
Forever his absence seems to last
Her fading faith is falling fast
Awaiting his return

Then one day the world fades from sight
And he is there waiting in the light
She holds him close with all her might
No longer awaiting his return

Hey lemonraindrops,

Welcome to the teen forum of passions! What an interesting poem, I'm glad that I didn't miss reading this one. The ending was beautiful in the way that you could interpret it to mean different things. Thanks for sharing, I look forward to reading more of your work
