"A Hero's Welcome"

I want a hero's welcome
when I am home

not a party for the
prodigal son who

returns penniless
willing to be a servant.

I want the journey
of a moment to be

considered brilliant,
wonderful, courageous even.

I am a hero
for I am God's Son.

Love bid me adieu
and welcome back.

Ooh. I love it

Some days, I come home whimpering
Others I think I am ready for the laurel wreath

Most of all, I think I want to be welcomed home by being gathered up in Father's arms, safe at home at last.
I'll see you there, Sister.
