Cornerstone

A family moment

Cornerstone

Upon a myth of returning son
Land as free as the high noon sun
My mother stands awaiting her boy
Currents waver sure of a joy
Son steps excitedly in dressed up greens
He's almost waiting for time to freeze

A rush of excitement
A mother's embrace
It seems like a cornerstone
Of her love filled with grace
I felt family for the first time
was Vietnam an avenue to
Find my moment in time?
