Seems fitting like a good thing
to have you in a poem forever the kids
that weren’t mine or me no matter how
much I wanted us to feel like family
Seems fitting to dream P. up a star
playing for a big soccer league on a field
surrounded by admirers for his smile, his wit
his laughter
And would he remember me the Elsa girl
who watched funny animals with him so he
would smile, left behind from a trip one of the
so very few the kids here ever get
and you what to even write? the swings
the ocean the waves of your spirit the strength, dare I say
that made you up from scratch on dark days
the dreams that kept you up, and up, and up
and just like a shudder you both came and left
leaving your steps in the hallways of here
leaving your faces embedded in my heart
taking with you all the good things I wanted you to take
all good things like the dreams
of success, of power, of happiness, of love, of truth, and redemption
