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
