Come back to me
<p>WW II</p><p><br/></p><p>She was a mother who had already known loss,</p><p>a widow carrying silence where love once lived.</p><p>Her husband became a memory,</p><p>and her son became the only heartbeat</p><p>that kept her broken world alive.</p><p>But war came like a thief in the night,</p><p>reaching into her arms</p><p>and taking away the child she had protected for fifteen years.</p><p>He was too young for battles,</p><p>too young for the sound of guns,</p><p>too young to carry the weight of a nation’s pain.</p><p>Yet she watched him leave,</p><p>with tears hidden behind a brave smile,</p><p>because mothers sometimes break quietly</p><p>when the world asks them to be strong.</p><p>And before he disappeared into the unknown,</p><p>she held his hands one last time and whispered:</p><p>"Come back to me."</p><p>Those words became her prayer,</p><p>her hope, her reason to wake each morning.</p><p>The war ended.</p><p>The soldiers returned,he didn't.</p><p>The years passed.</p><p>One year became five.</p><p>Five became ten.</p><p>But the door never stopped waiting.</p><p>Every morning, she reaches for the faded photographs,</p><p>tracing the face of the little boy</p><p>who once ran through her home.</p><p>She looks at his smile,</p><p>the smile of a child before the world changed him,</p><p>and she whispers to the empty room:</p><p>"My son is not dead…</p><p>he will come back to me."</p><p>People tell her to accept the silence.</p><p>They tell her the years have already answered her.</p><p>But a mother’s heart does not count years.</p><p>It counts memories.</p><p>It counts promises.</p><p>It counts the last words spoken by her child.</p><p>So she waits,</p><p>beside the doorway of yesterday,</p><p>holding onto a love that refuses to disappear.</p><p>Because somewhere inside her soul,</p><p>the fifteen-year-old boy she lost is still alive.</p><p>And she still believes…</p><p>One day,</p><p>he will come back to her.</p><p><br/></p>
