As I sit on the cold, wet bench,
I try to smile on this dark rainy day,
Mamas telling me, “He’ll be here soon.”
This world seems like nothing without him here,
I try to tell myself that he will be here soon.
I hear the sweet ringing.
The train is pulling up!
My heart is about to beat out of my chest.
I hear the train door squeak open,
I am happy, and afraid.
Mama, where is he? Is he coming?
“Just wait.”
Stamp, stamp.
The men start to walk off the train.
I see bright blue eyes,
Just like mine.
Mama picked me up into her arms and started to weep with happiness.
I ran up to him,
“Daddy! Daddy!”
He picked me up and clenched his hands around me.
My Mama joined us,
The love was so strong,
But I knew in my heart,
That this was the beginning, of the rest,
Of my life.
