Sons Snd Daughters Of My Country... Poem by RIC BASTASA

yes, they all come back,

sons and daughters of
my country
wherever they may have sailed
wherever they may have flown
to search
that greener pastures in their
minds,

after a while
on dreams fulfilled or
dreams that failed

they all come back
and repair what had been neglected
and put back what had been lost and broken

their children lost from the warmth of their love
soon shall find a home in the memory of their minds
their country destroyed
soon shall find the comfort back to their working hands

yes, they all come back
no matter what
this country is their home
the place where their dead hearts shall soon be entombed
