Continuation...

By LadyLeBlanc

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Don't look to me for answers unless you want my truth. Don't make me ask you questions unless you follow through. Because physically we're leaves that winnow in the wind, never run the race without intent to win. And when someone you love falls finally from the tree, have your silences and tears, but never cease belief. For even as you read this I'll fall in love with you. And you have my solemn promise that I'll always follow through. But when the time has come, and YOU are gone, I'll silently resolute that I'll continue on.This was written as a sort of ode to a teacher and very dear friend of mine who passed away two Christmases ago. I love you Mr.Gralapp!!! Written September 25th, 2001 © on Dec 23 2001 09:36 AM PST, Kaleigh Naylor   10 • 0
