Every line etched across your face
tells a story.
Every grimace in your voice,
a foray into your psyche;
an impending lesson, shifting to a future blessing.
Your wit, your eye for detail, your sarcasm:
All things I’ve come to inherit.
But, I hope to one day receive the courage
that emanates from your spirit.
Though, I know the experience that entails.
I look forward to the day I can say:
“To hell with ‘em” with no hesitation;
When life goes off the rails.
