SURPRISE AT THE DOOR

SURPRISE AT THE DOOR

A Poem by anthony blake
"

Anticipation into reality

"

A Mother’s wish in having hope

She is Catholic and relishes the Pope

A Mother’s son is based in the U.S. Army overseas

She would feel better if her Son was at home

The Mother feels so alone

Her Husband passed several years ago

But for years she would let go

The Mother often writes letters too her Son

She would feel better if she could talk face to face and he was among

The Mother prays asking God to protect her Son and keep him alive

But you should be feeling a Mother’s vibe

Now the Mother often makes a wish

Then throws in the air a kiss

Be careful what you wish for as it might come true

But there is nothing here to pursue

Suddenly there was a knock at the door

But the Mother didn’t seem sure

Could it be bad news that her Son had died?

How would she take the news?

Are you sure you want to answer the door?

Could it really be a surprise?

As the Mother opened the door, Sargent John Harrison, the Mother’s Son was behind the door

Her heart was full of joy extending into galore

Embraces upon embraces full of happiness

Captivated in life being her own witness

There were tears of joy both ends

But a salute in honor

A Mother’s love illustrating Welcome Home Son

Total admiration among

It’s a happy ending done.

I see the drawn tears in her eyes and hear clear the reasons in her cries. If only those stars could speak through reflection more protection through your words I now seek. Nice ink hard rider.
