Absence

(Dedication: For my son Michael Zachary,
On a year-long study tour in Canberra, Australia.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




Loiter with grace
Stretch learning pace


Absence feels sad
Pain ponders glad


Away from home
Read foreign tomes


Work study course
Flavour right cause


Quest helps ponder
Gift of wonder


Style precious time
Watch prompt flair chime


A broken heart
Greets healing start


Each moment seize
A lasting squeeze


Do what you do
Feel your soul cue


Rainbow and rain
Colours arch plain


Absence marks fond
Grand thoughts love spawns
