She watches from the porch swing
Gently rocking to and fro
As to her child she sings

Through the storm she waits
For her husbands footfall
Lovingly she smiles
As she hears his call

Moments draw longer
With each step he takes
As he moves forward
Muddy footprints in his wake

Laughter fills the woods
As child sees his Dad
Bringing him a teddy bear
Making his heart glad

A homecoming of sorts
Joyous in its gentle touch
For too long separated
Now just loving much

The Homecoming

Rain falling off the roof
She watches from the porch swing
Gently rocking to and fro
As to her child she sings

Through the storm she waits
For her husbands footfall
Lovingly she smiles
As she hears his call

With each step he takes
As he moves forward
Muddy footprints in his wake

Laughter fills the woods
As child sees his Dad
Bringing him a teddy bear
Making his heart glad

A homecoming of sorts
Joyous in its gentle touch
For too long separated
Now just loving much

I could really see the story unfolding, it's a simple piece, but very effective, really nice write! Lovely!
