A Push Away

5/19/10


A push away, you say,
Well, sometimes a hug and a smile
Are more than needed
Every once in a while

Only a stairwell away,
The atlas, pink heart, couch waiting,
Caught in between happiness and sadness
My heart is debating.

How grand is sunshine
When free of rain.
A simple push
Cannot stop the pain.

An immature courtship and friendships
Not fully able to develop.
Missing you, not a strong enough phrase;
It'll be hard to cope.

Comrades, amigos, friends to the end,
A second family away from home,
You've taught me more than anyone,
Please don't forget your traveling gnome.


Dedicated to the best staff, family, friends I've ever had the honor of having in my presence.
