A story left unsaid...

The sands of time had long since passed
Some inexplicable loss, her heart still possessed
that verses of music and drops of rain could not lessen..
As she wondered when would he ever return?

Every nation was at the knifes edge
It was a flame that no one could assuage
Soldiers had left home to defend their country
sadly aware that coming back may never be a fortuity

She said to herself that she will not weep
There were still great many promises to keep
which they had made with a tear and a smile
some 20 years back, as they had walked down the aisle

Her two beautiful angels were her only solace
a pillar of strength in whom she sought peace
The days went on and Seasons had passed
Will he ever come home? to herself, she oft asked

One day a miracle had taken place,the war had ceased
array of proud soldiers marched towards their crease
there was festivity in the air
coupled with all the Christmas cheer!

when his voice chanted "To all a Merry Christmas!"
The house reverberated full of life with joy and happiness...
