The Long Road Home

He came with wind upon his face,
A soul worn smooth by time and grace.
Not forged in flash or fiery crowds,
But steady hands beneath the clouds.

From Scranton streets to Senate days,
He learned to speak in quiet ways—
To listen first, to mourn, to mend,
To turn a rival to a friend.

He’s known the weight of grief’s full cost,
A wife, a child, the echo lost.
And yet he rose, again, again,
A testament to broken men.

No stranger to the nation's tears,
He spoke of healing—not of fears.
A whisper where the shouting grew,
A bridge for red, a hope for blue.

Not perfect—never claimed the crown,
But wore the task, not backed down.
He walked through decades, flawed and real,
With rusted truth and tempered steel.

And now he stands with age-worn light,
Not to inflame, but to unite.
A quiet fire, a hand outstretched,
A promise not to leave us wretched.

He is the pause, the reckoning,
The breath before the choir sings.
Joe Biden—man who understands
The fragile weight of leading hands.
