Home Fire


They told us it wouldn’t be long

but still we’re waiting

for our boys and girls to come home.

Waiting 

still waiting

no one knows how long

the wait 

for their return,

especially not them.

No one knows how long 

we must keep it burning

the fire

in our home

and hearts.


If they never return

it will burn the house down.
