Sye Sanders Poet Tanka

Billy

Whenever I hear,
Frank Sinatra sing ‘My Way’
It’s like you’re with me,
Reminding me that it’s okay,
For a boy to cry sometimes,

Whenever I see, 
A sunbeam through my window,
You’re smiling with me,
Making me wonder if you,
Actually went away last year,

Whenever I feel,
As though I can’t carry on,
You’re the gush of wind,
That blows courage into my back,
Telling me not to give in,

When I seek advice,
And you’re not around to guide,
I look to the skies,
As they burst into sunshine,
And it’s like you’re by my side,
