Monday July 2, Poetry prompt by Karen B Nelson’s Reason 2 Rhyme- this day in history.
Here is my response to the “This Day in History…” prompt. I used a day in my personal history.
SHE CAME BACK HOME
My heart is racing back and forth
Excitement is building
Increased anticipation
Everyone is home
Each excited in their own way
Smiles and loud laughs
It hadn’t been so in months
The car pulls in
We all rush out applauding
As she steps out strong and able
She looks up with love and gratitude
Eyes looking healthy
Every step strong and confident
We laugh and cheer
Hugging and squeezing
Mommy is finally home
She isn’t sick anymore…

Great sentiment here – and a happy ending! I like the line, “we all rush out applauding”. There’s times we all have someone we’d like to give a standing ovation to! Thanks for sharing your sweet words!
Thanks so much Karen. I wasn’t sure i would have anything for the prompt. Glad you enjoyed it.
Mothers are known to be strong and fearless. It’s hard to imagine your own mother helpless and sick. Nothing is more joyful than knowing that a mother has regained her strength and health after being so weak for so long. A happy picture you have painted.
Yea and it’s heartbreaking when they can’t help themselves. I wrote this from the perspective that she got better and her final days weren’t at the hospital but at home. Yea I like to think in my heart if she could she would have come back home healthy and strong :). Thanks so much for this heartwarming comment. Have a wonderful week. Big hugs
So touching Boomie.Your mom will always be home because she is always in your heart!
Oh absolutely :). Thank you so much and i didn’t cry this time too when i wrote it lol. I am getting stronger i think…i hope. Hope you are staying cool…it is freaking HOT!
I finally accepted your Award. http://resamcconaghy.com/2012/07/02/red-carpet-blues/
I did it Resa style, fun and funny.
I like the classy style you brought to the award :).
Thank you. I’m absolutely exhausted from my big night. It’s like my next Post should be about the next days hangover.
Lol…can’t wait 🙂
That last line is the best… I was going to say ‘kills it’ meaning good but I’m careful in writing about the phrases I use — I didn’t want you to think I meant it as bad. This last line pulled an emotional reaction from me.
Oh SCB ” kills it” is a HUGE complement with mucho swag :). I could never think that. Thanks so much, I think it’s that line that makes the post. Big hugs for this comment.
Loved the last line. Gave me hope.
Aloha,
Doug
