I Wonder

January 30, 2018

Dear Kelly, I wonder what its like to heal

Not just the physical, but what one feels.

To mend a soul broken by strife

And bring it hope and give it life

Dear Friend, I wonder what its like to teach

A hungry mind that’s like a leech.

That yearns for knowledge more and more

And devours lessons like a carnivore.

Dear Confidant, I wonder what its like to live

To never regret a thing you did

Each moment greater than the last

But always cherishing those in the past

I have so many things planned

Before my conference with the Big Man.

Lessons and stories to tell to all

Lessons and stories to be told by all.

There will come a day I can no longer wonder

I will lie beneath, only six feet under

Oh God, I hope that by that day

I will have found my own true way

The concept of being gone one day

Is not a scary thought.

As long as it was not wasted,

my one and only shot.

But when I’m finally dead and gone,

My memory… Will it still go on?

Love always,

Kelly
