A Thousand Miles Later


Don’t let it go to waste

Those elements of surprise

Like a smile that becomes an ally

In moments of distaste


I hope God forgives us

For angry words misplaced

Many good intentions erased

From one too many forgotten mistakes


May the landing be a little softer

For every fall and trip you encounter

From now until you grow older

Will someone catch you when you falter


These words are merely reminders

Wishful thoughts of a foolish lover

Who closes her eyes under the covers

And smiles at memories still remembered


The diary in our heart awaits a key

For someone to set our emotions free

Sometimes the lock is never released

And the ink inside is left to bleed


On this day like any other

A bundle of joy befell your mother

Years to come and years retired

Her love and mine remain unexpired
