Grounded

As I filter through these items stored
Within my mind and heart

Am I to just pretend
You never held a part

Held so loosely in your hand
Without restraint or guile

Made my spirit take to flight
Uplifted by your smile

Why must I hit delete on
Memories held dear

A moot point at best,I simply can't
They always reappear

It is a fact you left a mark
No superficial wound

Cut to the core forever more
Flight feathers permanently pruned

The first cut IS the deepest
All that follows but a scratch

Trying as hard as was possible
I would not take the patch

All in my life incurred since then
I hold no one to task

As I honestly gave all that I could give
Putting on my happiest mask

So........I will always be your Buddy
You will always be my Pal

And if any have a problem
They can also have a cow

The cow gets first prize, methinks.
