A shocking surprise,
overwhelmed my heart,
seeing you standing,
right in front of me,
at my job today.
To this surprise,
right before my eyes,
breathless of words,
all I could do,
was embrace you,
ever so tight,
my heart beats,
uncontrollably.
You are back,
my best friend,
for two weeks,
from Iraq,
to spend time,
with family & friends.
A shocking surprise,
which I will never,
forget deep in my heart.
