take me home

For my son who asked me to take him home after his father had just died to a time before.

 

 

Winter, and its cold my little one,

The suns warmth has left your eyes,

The silver cloak of the perfect moon upon your shoulders, worn with the heaviness of time

Footsteps resounding through eternity, alone

Echoes in empty halls

 

Winter, and its cold my little one

The frost glistens in your eyes

The wailing crying winds of the wintery time caress your body

 Dressed in white velvet snow

Blood red rose

 

Winter, and its cold my little one

My son

The new season sings

 A song borne on gentle breezes,

Soft and sweet

 

Spring, and its warm my little one

Perfect crystals glisten and melt

Promises of things yet to be

Dreams to come true

A way home

Hello Mam,I just feel really

Hello Mam,

I just feel really sorry for the irrecoverable loss; and your melancholic expression on behalf of your son really makes us (readers) feel sad and wish that your son's dream would come true.  You know the change of season is not far away for the snow to melt down to give way to spring.  Your country road should surely take you and your son  home and to the place where you belong to!
