I wanted to come home
I wanted to come home
While your little fists werelike the orchids yet to open
While your heart still remained soft and silken
While your eyes shone with that spirited gleam
I wanted to come home.
I did not come home
While your footsteps were keeping cadence in the wind
While your little heart was beating like a fly against the windowpane
While your laughter carried that silver's ring
I did not come home
I should have come home
While a spell of blur covered your eyes
While a gust of chilly wind put out a fading light
While a cold hand snatched you away like a kite
I should have come home.

Death. it seems to me that it's a poem about someone who's a workaholic and they spent too much time away from their baby then the child passed away. or it could be that the cold hand is time and the parent never spent time with the child while they were young and now they are grown and the parent will never get 2 watch the child grow up.

alluring imagery. The sentiment is sparkling, yet no longer overdone. i love it that she would not hit you intense jointly with her thoughts. She desires to tighten up somewhat on the kind so as that with somewhat modifying, she will have a perfect poem. I extraordinarily like the way she has engaged each and every of the senses and presented each and everything jointly to equivalent love, companionship and protection.

The "cold hand" in this poem is the cold hand of death.
Why else would the person feel such regret?

I think cold hands means is this case: When you are outside flying a kite, your hands might get cold. Or, cold hands could mean a stranger. It says snatched you away, and that could mean someone who is cold hearted, or stranger grabbed you. Hope this helps.

The cold hand of death. "Cold hand" .... meaning death took her. Either that or a guy without any mittens.

I think it's past relations, old unavoidable memories that pull people away from you.
