Never Looking Back

Hello, my old friend,
how long has it been?
I left you
to spend time
somewhere else.

No matter where I’ve gone
or the trouble I’ve gotten into,
you have always been there for me,
patiently waiting, without judgment,
for me to return.

Once again
I am with you,
weak and bruised
from the wandering I’ve done,
but now I am safe,
now I am home.

Hi, my name is Jacob Anton (ANN-tin) Davis. I am a husband, father, attorney, and writer. I have written poetry and fiction as a hobby for the past 20 years, but I launched J. Anton Poetry in 2019 to share my writing publicly. The poems of mine on this site largely describe my thoughts about the deeper connections and meaning in our everyday lives.
