Lily hadn’t visited her childhood home in over five years. She’d left the small town the moment she could, driven by the desire to carve out a life for herself in the fast-paced world of marketing. Her small town, with its wide fields and slow rhythms, seemed like a distant memory—a place that felt both familiar and foreign.
As she drove the winding road toward her family home, memories flooded her—of her childhood, the long summer nights spent chasing fireflies, of family dinners around the old wooden table. Yet, there was always the shadow of her father’s emotional distance, and her mother’s quiet sorrow.
The house, an old Victorian that had once been full of life and laughter, now seemed quieter, more fragile. Her mother met her at the door, her face etched with worry but softened with relief at Lily’s arrival.
“I’m so glad you’re here,” her mom said, pulling her into a warm embrace.
Lily could feel the tension in her mother’s body, the unspoken weight of the years. She stepped inside, the familiar smell of vanilla-scented candles and freshly baked cookies filling the air. Nothing had changed. The same floral wallpaper, the same old furniture. But her father’s absence hung heavily in the air.
“Where is he?” Lily asked, her voice breaking.
“In his room,” her mother replied, her eyes downcast. “He hasn’t been the same lately. I don’t know what’s happening. I thought you might be able to talk to him.”
Lily nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat. She wasn’t sure what she could do, but she knew she couldn’t leave without trying.

The return is soft, like an evening's glow,
A place once left, now calling slow.
Through roads unknown, through skies unkind,
The heart comes back, the soul aligned.
What once was lost, now feels so near,
In every step, in every tear.
The world has changed, yet here you stand,
A weary traveler in familiar land.
The return is more than coming home,
It’s finding peace where you had roamed,
A circle closed, a journey’s end,
But every return is where we mend.
"The Return"
Hope u like this too 😁😁😁💖💖💖💖
Be happy be safe 🙏

The road once lost, now found again,
A journey's end, where dreams begin.
The heart returns to places known,
To roots, to love, to seeds once sown.
With every step, the past unfolds,
In whispered winds and tales retold.
The return is not a simple way,
But a homecoming at the end of day.
