Life goes on
So we go with
To see the road
Even leave it

sixth draft finished
hand-written notes
in margins, in purple
filled binder, in hopes
a kid threw a desk today
I pointed out he was mad
he made another kid sad
because they were fat and slow
asked him why and he blamed
everyone else, even the victim
so he flipped a table instead
of asking himself why am I

We all change, time sees to that
We lose parts along the way
In war those we love the most
Don’t always come home again.

Tell the world one important moment happened
While you prepare for the next one, keep it close
Celebrate your moments and work for the next
200 paper pages in and wedding rings to give

What else is there to do but
Take a knee and ask the girl
For real, this time, to marry you
