Airports Are The Cure For A Happy HeartA Poem by KellyAnnI wrote this poem after my brother left for basic training two years ago. I'll never forget that moment, for it was something so heartbreaking it's almost impossible to forget.The day you left The skies were
clouded over. Patches of grey and
black swirled. Flashes of
lightening erupted And rain dribbled
on to the concrete. Your stare was hard
as stone as we waited In that small
airport In The day you left Time had no mercy. Minutes felt like
seconds. All our bodies were
tense. For the first time in
my 17 years I watched Dad as
his stone eyes Melted in to sad Tears. The day you left We walked you to
the gate That ripped you
away from us For the longest six
months. You wrapped me in a
warm hug that day As I buried my
swollen eyes into Your solid
shoulder. Never will I forget The day you left. © 2013 KellyAnn |
