My Last Look at Wakenda
A last glance through tearful eyes
As you vanished into the past
Taking with you my childhood
You were alone and silent
Beneath your lambent glow
A pillar of hope against the darkness
I will always remember you
Encased in a bubble of murky light
My oasis, my haven shielded from the world
You taught me to love
To forgive, to hope, to dream
You gave me courage
You showed me the questions
Gave me freedom to act
Allowed me to make mistakes
You will live a long and prosperous life
In my heart and memories
Goodbye my dear friend.
