The Voyage Home

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Voyager or any of its characters. So, PLEASE don't sue me...cause frankly, I probably couldn't afford it. (University student...I think that speaks for itself.)

AN: This is just a little poem I wrote about Voyager's return to the Alpha Quadrant. It's written in the viewpoint of an un-named crewman.

For seven years I've dreamed of this day

For seven long years I've been away

Our journey was long and very hard

Many of us have been emotionally marred

We've not seen our loved ones for many years

The thought of seeing them again brings joyous tears

We're finally home after all this time

A miracle some would say is divine

Our happiness though is not without price

Our return did not come without sacrifice

We lost some friends whilst fighting our foes

But we also made friends, which lessened our woes

Although it was hard, we had to be strong

And accept the fact that our journey was long

We knew the Captain would not lead us astray

So every order she gave, we would obey

We knew our efforts were not in vain

For the sun always comes out after the rain

And now before me I see the Earth

My spirit rejoices and I am filled with mirth
