The Homecoming (In Memory Of My Brother) Poem by Robert Melliard
The Homecoming (In Memory Of My Brother)
This homecoming of our children
(young men and women who we miss,
although we give them freedom) :
this family moment of returning youth -
brown with summer from the south,
full of stories, carefree -
this scene is precious, gemlike,
but for a presence in my memory
which whispers out its background lines:
'If I were still alive today,
I, too, would love such times.'
