One More Time

The voyage long, begun at dawn, and then the winged beast of metal rolls wheels to ground, loved ones, inside and out, bear only grins, and recount old tales of "remember whens?" The hours of waiting fast recede, unwound, as passengers embrace their long lost kin, they grab their bags, head toward waiting cars with hope and faith, forget the "might have beens." "Worth the wait?" said Gram, Gramp smiles without a sound. His son beams at 'the wife' and passes round cigars. The world is right and bright again.

A lovely poem, bursting with a sense of nostalgia. I truly enjoyed reading this, it gave me a sense of the way things were with some optimism for the way things will be. Great poem, thank you for sharing.
