Note: The first line is personal to the author: it is MY father I have broken faith with. Sorry for the confusion

Homecoming

I have broke faith with my father,

And love a lad home from the war

Who does not regret it, or even think of it

Much.

So honest he is, and so unafraid,

Even of fear itself ,

Full of half-formed plans, yet so sure

Of his love, that he dies for it,

Without ever knowing

Why.
