3/08 For my dad.
You haven't been by yourself
in a long time.
Maybe take these moments
to relax a little
in a different kind of way,
or make some new friends.
Take a long walk.
Or three.
Dude, I don't need much.
I have what I have and I'm thankful for that,
but I want you to find happiness
in you and only you know where it's kept.
You'll have to get used to
it being quiet
but I know you'll have that.
Silently, you'll be thankful for that.
Stay strong,
stay busy,
stay your faith full.
One day you'll know it's been long overdue.
I only came along as a thank-you.
