Bronte Return - Part 5
This is our 5th Bronte poem please read the other poems if you are not familiar with our story
Outside of Howarth
The world is bleak and grey
Nothing to stir the memory
Or to offer solace from the fray .
Yet as soon as I return
To the old Bronte home
My strength returns quickly
I'm no longer alone .
In the arms of my true love
Watching flames flicker in the grate
Painful past is no more
Love filled future my fate.
Our children are our future
You are the one that I adore
Patrick and Grace missed their daddy
But now from battle you return
I know that you are weary
Your strength will soon return
Dark days are now behind us
To the future we must look
Our journey in life has not be smooth
Still we have sheltered from each storm
With arms wrapped round each other
Forever love will keep us warm
Wrapped up in each other
Watching our children play
Doting father and mother
Loving the Bronte way
Our home is filled with laughter
Playing hide and seek with the kids
You give me the kiss I've been after
Just before the kids discover where we're hid.
I'm home Mrs Bronte
This time I'm here to stay
I couldn't cope with my aching heart
Each time I went away
Each night I kissed your picture
Wiped the tears from my cheek
Holding you to my heart
At times, unable to speak
Now you have returned
The past has been locked away
Soon we will have more children
For I have a baby on the way
We have been making up for lost time
Now once again you are mine
Darling, you were forever in my heart
Now reunited, never shall we part
