She Waits For Me (Back in the Shire)

She waits for me

Back in the Shire

Stoking the home fire

She beckoned me

To just survive

To come back alive

She prays for me

To fix this thing

To destroy this ring

Back in the Shire

Stoking the home fire

She waits for me

The kindness of someone waiting for us. A few kind ladies saved me from my own foolishness. I adored the poem. You create a wonderful and hopeful vision. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
