Always there
You never disappear
Staying close
I feel you when you’re near
I am alone
no matter if you’re there
For few will know
The pain I have to bear
Your reassurances are void
I have seen you without such a ploy
Trust is limited
No reliance in it
I pray that you’re gone
But I know you’ll always reappear
For this heart
Always aches when you’re gone
Winged horses could not get me to do that
She says to me with her nose stuck up.
She can be prissy when she wants to be.
Trixie is in obstinate mode
I try to reason with her
But I am no match
For this particular strand of my imagination
Two seconds later she rides off to the Netherlands
On the back of a white winged horse
I resist giving her a friendly wave
Where do you think she learned obstinance?
We learn to take our medicine
No matter what the taste
And follow doctor's orders,
Though uncomfortable, post haste.
Yet children have to be convinced,
For if the flavor's vile,
They'll try their best to fight it
Using obstinance and guile.
Perhaps a bit of bribery
Or trickiness might work,
For medical instructions
Aren't ones we ought to shirk.
So we must do what we must do
To get that dosage down,
Despite the knowledge we're the cause
Of grimace, grouse or frown.
