as do all the best tales told.
Yet I must warn you
it has a happy healthy ending,

As he sits all alone in his rocking chair
the frail, old man smooths his thin, gray hair
With his companion, Loneliness, he whiles away the time
Rummaging through memories in the attic of his mind

When my heart is lonely,
And fear beseeches me,
Then ‘protector’ is the synonym for you...
Then only do I discover

When my soul is crying,
Over heart clenching tragedies,
Then you are the only consoler...

With the same questions to herself she asked

Those teenage years of chaos and confusion...
