Bonding Blue
The moment, that euphoria,
A feeling like never before
No one counting the cost
Or the threshold of the door
Commitments of convenience
Never getting past the glory
Just wanting the success
That lays out like a perfectly executed story
Even after Wisdom arrived
They could not gaze upon her face
They gave her everything needed
But in their hearts, she had no place
They loved sharing photos
Of all the places they let her ride along
They even turned up the music
And invited her to sing a song
As she grew up, they grew away
To the point, she could no longer stay
...........lost
As they sat upon their lonely couch
Wondering why Wisdom never came around
They had been good parents
Because their knowledge and education were...sound
Decades passed as their eyes grew dim
When one night, Wisdom came to their door
She asked if they would sit with her
But they turned her away, and they saw her no more.
