To

It is always comforting to know,
As you grow

That your childhood heroes,
As fixed stars in the firmament,
,
Remain for stability
In the changing aging of life

But as they die off
As, well, they should

In the course of life
Like the passing of your parents

Which raises you to the next rung,
Of being a parent yourself

You must come into your own
And become a star to someone else.

John Thomas Tansey
