Coming Home Again Poem by T Michael Farrell

Coming Home Again

Approaching The End Of Another Long Absence
Away From Home, Spouse, Pet And Life
I'm Determined To Recover, To Walk Again
And Enjoy Our Marriage, As Husband And Wife

We've Been Robbed, Cheated And Swindled
Going On For 17 Years Now,
Of Normal, Happy Times Together
The Absence Of Which Makes Me Scowl

You've Done A Great Job
A Caregiver You've Become
But It's A Role For You I Hate To See
And Me As A Patient, I Don't Want To Be

So Here's My Pledge, To You I Make
I'll Rehab Often And Hard, And Will Also Include
Keeping My Darkcloud Thoughts At Bay
All For You, Dearest Jean, For I Love You
