The Homecoming The winds of March blow fierce against the skin But cannot chill this warmth inside my heart An ever burning ember from within Has soothed the endless time we spent apart You fought with courage what you had to fight And walked the path with dignity and grace As you fly homeward on this windy night We wait with love and pride upon our face Your sons will be there waiting at the gate Young men with certain courage of their own The fears that they once had to contemplate Have vanished now that you are coming home Just look at how the little ones have grown The soup is hot, the fire’s warm, so Welcome Home Elizabeth Santos |

What a lovely sonnet, and the idea behind it is even more wonderful. I will be thinking of you and your husband, Elizabeth. God bless.  Love, Elizabeth "He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!" -The Crucible |
