I Never Expected him to Go
I was Never Ready to Let him
He Lives in my Heart Young and Free
The way he Lived Every Living Day
I was Speechless to see
A Visitor had Stopped By
Taking the Same Path as He
On his Daily Inspections around the house
From the Direction of his Grave
In Between the House and Trees
In Front of the Garage and parked Cars
Into the Openness of the Field
I Allowed Myself
For the Briefest of Moments
To Believe he had Come Back
Come Back to survey
His Belongings
His People
His Family
His Home
I Believe it was Indeed his Spirit
He had Left his Calling Card, after all
His Very Own
