Missing Home Poem by Collette Y Anderson Williams

Another winter's day
that you've left me
all alone.

It is cold and wet
and I want nowhere else
to go.

Warmth awaits me
showing tender,
loving care.

Yesterday tempts me to surrender
but I withhold,
‘cause I'm missing home.

Overwhelmed by dark clouds of doubt,
yet I keep holding on -
wishing that you'd
ask me to stay.

When oceans divide us,
I crave your attention, your time -
my heart whispers gently…

Eyes to my soul
blinded by sadness
as you remain entangled
in your world.

My heart now seeks release -
but only from the knots
which keep us apart,
‘cause I'm missing home.
