AS THEY LEAVE HOME

The things that I would say before you go
Is always hit the hight notes when you can
And never disappear behind a closing door
Remember every gain is hand to hand
Dismiss beguiling notions of despair
that hold you hostage to your sense of loss
Your worth is measured every time you stand
regardless of which battlefield you’ve crossed
Recover all the highest thoughts you own
and fan them out before you as you walk.
Be mindful that forgiveness has a plan.
Refrain from prideful banter when you talk.
And if a day seems heavy with regret,
recall that shadows only dance in light
Then purposefully begin the waltz you know
It’s best to live with honor than by might
