Somehow...Someway Poem by Charles Hancock

Somehow...Someway



She was waiting for her special someone
A soldier, who was coming home to meet their son
Who looked so much like his dad, she called him Rerun

He called her after he got rerouted to somewhere
The connecting flight was delayed for a lengthy repair
She took comfort in reciting the Lord's prayer

Oh, the disappointments of the here and now
But to her, he gave his word, he gave his vow
He would be home today, someway...somehow

She painfully watched each minute fade away
While waiting on a tardy flight from Santa Fe
And wondering if today was her someday

His unit deployed to Afghanistan in the spring
He told her, while he was there, he got her something
She hoped it was a simple engagement ring
