Smiles all around, he’s here

A measured, comforting word

Graciously holding the door

The boy is usually unheard

—

Be more like him

Why don’t you grow

You are so quiet

He’s fast, you’re slow

—

The past checks-in to say hello

Like mortar around the bricks

The vintage turns to vinegar

Longer than a lifetime to fix

—

Winter is warmer this year

Smiles and shadows are colder

Climate change or just letting go

Along the way, we got older

—

Look at us now

Our trails so contrasting

Escaping your shadow

Is happiness everlasting
