Return Poem by Monica Engeler

I sit here looking so sad
No I don’t wonder why
My best friend said goodbye
Life is not really all that bad.

My eyes closed into a dream
Memories of old come back
His smile flickered red to black
Tears rolled down in streams.

How I wish time could return
To a better moment in years
The future seems full of fear
I am alone asking for no discern.

So many matters were left ajar
A child was born and left alone
Money is scarce on my own
I ask you to reunite from afar.

My eyes slowly opened wide
A big grin shined into view
My man returned to me anew
I beamed in the most pride.

Here is your new born son
Life is good again for us two
This child of hope was true
Hold him and you have won.
